NCTA’s Executive Vice President, James Assey, will be participating tonight in an Oxford-style debate on net neutrality, presented by Tech Debate as part of Web 2.0 Expo New York.
The participants will debate the motion “A network neutrality law is necessary.“ Arguing for the motion will be Professor Tim Wu, venture capitalist Brad Burnham and Professor Nicholas Economides. Presenting the case against the motion will be James Assey, Robert Quinn (AT&T’s Senior Vice President of Federal Regulatory) and Professor Christopher Yoo.
The event will be streamed live this evening at 8:00 p.m. A podcast will be available afterwards at Tech Debate’s website.
James Assey did a bit of debating on net neutrality and other telecom topics at the Personal Democracy Forum back in July. You can read a write-up of that conversation or watch a video of the proceedings.
