High Tech Forum Plans To Explain Technology Behind Policies

A new group, the High Tech Forum, plans to examine the technology behind high-tech policies, its organizers said in a news release last week. “The Internet is one of the most successful experiments in world history -- but most people have no idea how it works,” the group said. "The new High Tech Forum will change that.” The forum is led by Richard Bennett, longtime network engineer and visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. The group is offering a classroom, which will provide “basic explanations” of Wi-Fi, wireless networks and “more complex issues like the limitations of unlicensed spectrum and functionality of high versus low frequencies,” the group said. It's offering an "Ask the Engineer" feature and forums for discussing issues.
