<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default">Starts at Noon. This issue - ISP's right to datamine their customers - showed up earlier in the year at a couple of congressional hearings in the form of a turf war between the FTC and the FCC. Telcos are citing some ancient right to collect calling data, while the FTC considers it a consumer issue. It was Harold Feld, who is on the panel today who somewhat <a href="https://www.publicknowledge.org/press-release/public-knowledge-urges-fcc-to-issue-nprm-to-protect-consumer-privacy" style="font-size:small">set the thing in motion</a>, while Richard Bennett, also speaking, considers the whole thing <a href="http://hightechforum.org/fact-checking-privacy-nprm/" style="font-size:small">a massive overreach</a> given that all the edge providers do it anyway. Today's keynote comes from Jon Lebowitz, who, according to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Leibowitz" style="font-size:small">Wikipedia</a>, is "founding Co-Chair of the "21st Century Privacy Coalition," a coalition of telecommunications companies and trade associations focused on relaxing federal privacy laws."</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><u></u>
