[ISOC-NY announcements]

Great parthian shot from TW. He points out that, under the Administrative
Procedure Act

his successors will actually have to prove harm to overturn the Open
Internet Order. Since investment, competition etc is up, not going to be so
easy.

2017* outgoing FCC Chair *Tom Wheeler* gave his final public address in the
post - *Communications at a Crossroads: Charting the Course Forward
<https://www.aspeninstitute.org/events/fcc-chairman-tom-wheelers-final-public-address/>*
- at the *Aspen Institute <https://www.aspeninstitute.org/>* in Washington
DC. He noted the many achievements during his term, including the *Open
Internet Order <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_Open_Internet_Order_2010>*.
He spoke passionately and forcefully about the importance of strong net
neutrality rules to preserve the Open Internet as a platform for free
expression and innovation, suggesting that the rules are working well, and
that, historically, such constraints were always required on dominant
networks. He also emphasized the vital civic role the FCC has to play in
protecting privacy and security of US communications. See below:
