Intellectual Property Law

Tuesday links

By Susan Crawford

It’s spring break, and I seem to be checking in with every part of my life as law professor, OneWebDay whatever, ICANN director, and violist - lots of meetings and phone calls and meals. Whatever happened to the quiet contemplative vacation?

Anyway:

1. the 700 MHz auction has ended. Almost $20 billion for the Treasury. Most people think that Verizon and AT&T were the big winners, and that the Commission will find a way to separate out the D Block auction (which didn’t reach the reserve price) from the other blocks - so we’ll know soon who won the famous 22 MHz C block.

2. The FCC is rumored to be a very political place.

3. China is blocking YouTube to avoid making video of the crackdown on Tibet visible. Cellphone video still manages to circulate.

4. NYC announces InternetWeek in June. A good chance for everyone to get ready for OneWebDay on Sept. 22.
