Your chance to raise hell with the FCC coming to Pittsburgh

If you’re in Pittsburgh, you’ll have you chance to join the masses donning torches and pitchforks to attend an FCC forum on July 21st. I wish the Thirdpipe team could attend, but we are in fly over country in Texas (we would attend if someone wanted to sponsor our trip). For those of you who can, we encourage you to attend and  let the commissioners know that they are not serving your interests.

 The FCC has announced (pdf) that they’ll be holding a public hearing on “broadband and the digital future” on July 21, at 4PM EST, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The FCC has recently held hearings on network neutrality at both Harvard University and Stanford University. This particular hearing will instead focus on competition and broadband deployment.
