Conference discusses importance of digitalization
Digital migration is the future of media and communication for the Boulder community.
“You may laugh at YouTube and roll your eyes at the blogosphere, but they are fulfilling the role of the forum in ancient Greece,” said Ron Binz, chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
Binz spoke as the keynote speaker for the second day of “Digital Broadband Migration: Information Policy for the Next Administration”, a conference dealing with the challenges facing the CU administration as technology continues to evolve.
The conference took place in the UMC for most of the day on Feb. 10 and 11.
According to the Silicon Flatirons Web site , the conference schedule topics included the change in broadband and wireless markets, challenges related to protecting privacy and security and the optimal direction for intellectual property reform.
Seminars on information policy, broadband technology, and wireless policy were held on Feb. 10, while privacy, surveillance, and intellectual property reform topics were held on Feb. 11.
