I'm at a small conference — 25-30 people — sponsored by VON and hosted by the Berkman Center, called "The CEO Forum on the Next Billion: Finding ways to move access to communication from 1 billion people on earth to 2 billion and beyond." Daniel Berninger introduces the morning. The meeting is for non-incumbent telco providers who usualy are competing against one another but today are going to talk about growing the market. Wireline phones, he says, are decreasing in number. Going to 2 billion users is good for users, good for the world, and good for the industry. (I originally agreed to lead a session here, but when I found out what the topic actually is — the regulatory threats to VoIP — I panicked and bailed. Fortunately, the gallant John Palfrey of the Berkman Center stepped in and will lead a panel of Ethan Zuckerman, Colin Maclay and me, all Berkpeople.) Posted
