Google Waterloo would like to invite you to a talk by Jacob Glick,
Canada Policy Counsel, Google Inc:
The Unified Theory of Everything (in Communications Policy)
A simple insight -- the policy debates in Canada over the last two
years around net neutrality, Canadian content online, copyright
reform, the digital TV transition, the future of local TV and anti-
spam legislation are all reflections of a single technological and
business transformation: the convergence of everything to the open
internet. This convergence has led to unparalleled innovation,
consumer choice and competition. Policy should seek to protect and
promote the open internet rather than distort it to protect existing
business models or technologies.
Date: February 3, 2010
Time: 4:30pm-5:30pm
