In a historic first that demonstrates the increasing power of the Internet Community as a political force, HotWired, DIGEX, the Voters Telecommunications Watch, and the Center for Democracy and Technology have teamed up to provide a live, interactive "cybercast" of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee encryption hearing on Wednesday June 26.
The "cybercast" will provide netizens concerned about privacy and security on the Internet the ability to participate in the hearing, ask questions of the witnesses, and submit comments for the record. Details on how you can participate are printed below.
This hearing is the second encryption hearing held before the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Space and Technology; the first hearing was held on June 12. Subcommittee Chair Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) presided over both hearings.
