FCC En Banc Hearing, Round Two - West Coast Style

The FCC has announced that it's taking its show on the road again - this time to Stanford, on April 17 - for a second en banc hearing on broadband network management practices.

From the FCC press release:
"The Commission will hear from expert panelists regarding broadband network management practices and Internet-related issues. The hearing scheduled at Stanford University is the second such hearing on broadband network management practices and Internet-related issues to be held by the FCC and follows a similar hearing held at Harvard Law School last month (for more information: http://www.fcc.gov/headlines.html - go to February 25, 2008 headline: ‘FCC En Banc Hearing on Broadband Network Management Practices, Cambridge, Massachusetts’). The hearing at Stanford University is open to the public, and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional details on this hearing will be forthcoming."
