Come and contribute to our BroadBand Future

[kdelarue]

All -

The Government is hosting the "Realising Our BroadBand Future" forum
on 10 and 11 Dec to map the applications and business models that will
thrive in Australia's high speed broadband future.

We have an opportunity in Melbourne to contribute to the discussion.

The Melbourne session at 8:30 to 12:00 next Thursday 10 Dec. Deloitte
are very kindly hosting us at 550 Bourke St. This is a free session,
but you must register. See the details, and click through to register
here:

We’re talking about our connected future. This isn’t about technology,
it’s about how we can all use it – to connect communities, build
businesses, improve our education and health systems, create and
innovate, improve our quality of life for all.

For those of you wishing to come along, please register as quickly as
you can, as there are limited places available! If you are unable to
make it, please pass on the invitation. It would be great to see some
trampoline people there, and of course others are welcome. We look
forward to having some diverse points of view!

Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, follow us on Twitter at
#bbfmel

Regards,

- Keith.

Would love to come but am travelling for the same cause elsewhere.

If someone agrees and can benefit from or relay some of this stuff
verbally, I would be much obliged (we sent to Pia Waugh back at the
start of the year):

Any-to-any communication Q.E.D. The world is flat!

Empowerment, accountability, critical thought and heterogeneity built
upon open standards. Facilitation not dictation. Net Neutrality and
transparency. "Adhocracies" and decentralism as I've said before
(Alvin Toffler'esque :) Free the underlying data and the "darkweb" or
"linkdata".

People will stand up and be counted if they're not mollycoddled and it
doesn't hit their hip pocket too much. The great thing about IT is,
packets and code do not really suffer scarcity, which is a blessing
and a curse. The physics and economics are somewhat different in
cyberspace

Have a look at Mark Pesce's (honorary lecturer at the
University of Sydney) keynoting recently in New York at the Personal
Democracy forum http://blog.futurestreetconsulting.com/?p=62 <--
amazing video explaining what's truly going on today and how we are
telescoping via hyperconnectedness. (Also seek out his "share this
lecture" video...)

Let's fight internet censorship, we recently made this video:
http://nodecity.com/empower <-- 3 of the leading global security
experts talk Australian Censorship.

Aside:Another resource you may be interested in is this wonderful
position paper from SIFT on the the future of the Internet in Australia.

Hey Donal,

LOVED the video! Great stuff, and challenging too.

Cheers,
