BayFF with Jonathan Zittrain

EFF invites you to hear luminary researcher Jonathan Zittrain, principal of the Oxford Internet Institute, deliver a presentation on the topic of his next book: "The Future of the Internet - And How to Stop It."

The event is hosted by News.com at CNET Networks.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.
WHAT:
Jonathan Zittrain speaks on "The Future of the Internet -- And How to
Stop It. The Internet is primed for a meltdown - and the most obvious
cures are just as bad."

law and technology policy. He holds the Chair in Internet Governance
