This conference is worth watching. Called F2C: Freedom to Connect 2006, it is based on the assumption that the Freedom to Connect falls into the same category as Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and Assembly.

"Each of these freedoms is related to the others and depends on the others, but stands distinct. Freedom to Connect, too, depends on the other four but carries its own meaning."

It’s about technology and policy, but as it is becoming so clear now, connectivity tips the balance of power toward consumers, and the outcome of a conference like this will make the powers that be very, very scared. The electronic democracy is just waking up.
