Hello All, Apologies, but my first message on Monday never made it to the mailing list (it was delivered to the server, just not broadcast out to everyone). So, here it is again and even updated.
Reminder, you must buy a ticket ahead of time for this event. It's only $5, less than half a movie, so don't get cheap on us. Hope to see you there. -Ben -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 5:05 PM To: nycwireless @ lists .

Spectropolis Downtown Dialogue Series: Victory of the Commons: The Case for a Public Airwaves Movement September 29, 7:00 pm, Multi-Purpose Room at Pace University, 3 Spruce Street This panel will evaluate the case for a widespread social movement advocating open spectrum policies led by community wireless groups. Panelists will present the successes and failures of earlier media and technology movements including media reform, low-power FM, public access television, and open source software. In the past year, two million people filed FCC comments to oppose a change in the media ownership rules that would have increased the market share of corporate broadcasters. Similarly, large hardware manufacturers and corporations have begun using open source software, which was developed through the collaborative efforts of a huge number of volunteer programmers. Currently, we are in the midst of another social movement that threatens to disrupt the status quo. Local wireless groups have begun to offer free Internet access to their communities using WiFi, thereby creating an alternative to commercial services. Present obstacles to the development of a widespread social movement advocating open spectrum policies will also be discussed. Participants: Chris Anderson - Indymedia New York, Dharma Dailey - Prometheus Radio, Anthony Townsend - NYCwireless, Michael Scott Jones - Manhattan Neighborhood Network. Moderator: Laura Forlano - Columbia University ------------------------------------------------ Next Month's Meeting (it's going to be a technical meeting, so be prepared) Regular Monthly General Meeting Wed.
