Interactive Industry Leaders and Top Policy Makers to Meet
at WashingtonWeb Internet Policy Forum
Washington, DC -- With the mounting interest of
Washington in the Internet, key policy makers and Internet
industry executives will come together for a strategic
discussion about the impact of politics on the Internet.
Sponsored by the Association for Interactive Media, the
WashingtonWeb Internet Policy Forum, February 9 and 10,
1998, is the premier top-level meeting between the
Washington policy community and the leaders of the new media
industry.
"Internet executives and government officials come
from very different backgrounds. There needs to be an on-
going dialogue between the users and regulators of this
powerful medium in order to ensure that businesses may
continue to grow and serve the public. The WashingtonWeb
Internet Policy Forum is designed to facilitate this
discussion," said Andy Sernovitz, President of the
Association for Interactive Media.
Currently, over 300 Members of Congress have co-
sponsored bills regulating interactive businesses. Federal
regulatory agencies including the FCC, FTC, NTIA, Treasury,
Federal Reserve, White House Office of Technology
Assessment, and the Patent and Trademark Office, are
considering new legislation and regulation. Commerce on the
Net will be forever shaped by the dozens of bills,
regulations, and policy directives that are already on the
table. Participants will have the opportunity to interact
with the very legislators and regulators who will make these
decisions.
A partial list of topics to be discussed at
WashingtonWeb include: Pending Legislation and Regulation:
The Industry Response; Potential Expansion of FTC and FCC
Jurisdictions; Taxing the Internet; Beltway Wonks vs. Web
Gurus; Consumer Concerns and Industry Self-Regulation.
Speakers (to date) include: Representative Rick Boucher;
Adam Theirer, Heritage Foundation; Adam Clayton Powell III,
The Freedom Forum; Pete DuPont, IntellectualCapital.com.;
Robin Raskin, Editor & Publisher, Family PC Magazine;
Kenneth Dotson, CBS Sportsline; and Gordon Ross, NetNanny.
Sponsors include: Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, Policy.com,
CNN/Time All Politics, Net Nanny, IntellectualCapital.com,
and Exodus Communications.
The WashingtonWeb Internet Policy Forum will be held
February 9 and 10, 1998, at the Willard intercontinental
Hotel in Washington, DC.
