[Commons-Law] Robert Horvitz on Opening India's Spectrum | Thursday, Jan 14 @ 18:00

[Pranesh Prakash]

Dear all,
The Centre for Internet and Society invites you to a lecture by Robert
Horvitz on Open Spectrum in India.

The government monopolised India's radio spectrum until the mid-1990s
and even now, non-governmental use of wireless is more limited than in
other democracies. Restrictive policies constrain the growth of mobile
telephony, broadcasting, wireless broadband and many other services
important to India's social and economic development. Can anything be
done to change this?

Robert Horvitz, director of the Open Spectrum Foundation
<http://www.openspectrum.info>, and author of the Local Radio Handbook,
is visiting India to study this question and suggest strategies for
citizen action to reform radio regulation. On Thursday, 14 January, at
18:00 he will discuss some of his preliminary findings at the Centre for
Internet and Society.

Date: 	
Thursday, 14 January 2010

Time: 	
18:00 - 19:30

Location: 	
CIS Office, D-2, 3rd Floor, Shariff Chambers
14 Cunningham Road
Bangalore, India
