“The question is whether tomorrow’s communications services will be defined by citizen choices or by the business interests of a handful of cable broadband companies.”

How many sides of the argument will truly be presented?

Yes, I know Lessig didn’t write the marketing copy, and (BTW) I probably agree with the guy who did, but shouldn’t an event such as this be more than an echo chamber? Couldn’t scholars have a real scholarly debate once in a while?
