Not quite off topic...
Looks like an interesting conference as it has Dave Hughes, one of
the grandfathers of using unlicensed wireless devices in hooking
up remote locations, and Gordon Cook, who has been commenting on
wireless and the politics of the Internet for decades. I even see
that Russ Nelson, a frequent contributer to this list, is listed
as someone that will be attending.

WTF?
If you care about the Communications Revolution, you'll want to be
at WTF. Among you are rebels and regulators, investors and inventors,
engineers and executives, artists and scientists, students and
professors, philosophers, bankers, musicians and politicians.
You're invited to come spend forty-eight hours together listening
to each other, celebrating our successes, digging each others'
discoveries, learning from our mistakes and hatching plans for the
next phases of the Communications Revolution.
There is a bare-bones Agenda that's mostly unspecified, but this
much is sure:
WTF will begin at 4:00 PM on April 2, 2004
WTF will end at 4:00 PM on April 4, 2004
The planning includes:
* A "policy picnic" featuring Robert Pepper, FCC Head of
Strategic Planning
* A discussion of on-line legal rights with EFF attorney
Wendy Seltzer
* A demonstration of guerilla networks with Magic Bike artist
Yury Gitman
* A wireless access extravaganza with Dave Hughes and Gordon
Cook
* A debate on "Misconceptions built into Product, Protocol and
Policy" with David P. Reed and Paul Kolodzy
* A discussion of how the U.S. could follow telcos into
bankruptcy by Porter Stansberry
* A debate on "IT Doesn't Matter" featuring IBM Director
David Cohn and somebody who believes IT Doesn't
* A discussion of Telco Culture with Francis McInerney and
Art Kleiner
* Show-and-tell, featuring all of us!
The agenda is STILL WIDE OPEN (this is your meeting), and subject
to drastic change (up to 180 degrees in any dimension) so if you
have something to show or to say, let us know. And if you have
a good idea, send it in!
