Ivan Seidenberg discusses the role of the communications industry in creating this vital resource, what the next wave of technological innovation will look like, and what will be required to ensure a robust, secure, and growing Internet in the future.

ICANN is a nonprofit partnership responsible for the coordination of the Internet's naming system. In this capacity, ICANN helps to ensure each computer is identified by a unique address, thus playing a role in securing U.S. cyber infrastructure.  Join ICANN president and CEO Rod Beckstrom for a discussion of cybersecurity policy and strategy.

In a recent report commissioned by the Federal Communications Commission in order to help it plan the new internet policy Congress has mandated it must release by February 17, 2010, the United States ranked twenty-second in the world for internet adoption. With an internet both slower and more expensive than in other developed countries, the United States is doing worse now than it did in the same study a decade ago. If the internet is a critical part of infrastructure-the virtual counterpart to roads, airports, and the electric grid-do these findings indicate that nations with superior internet access are better poised for innovation, growth, and economic development in the coming decades? Can the United States change its policies to be more competitive and what can we learn from countries leading the way in internet usage and promotion? Please join Yochai Benkler, a leading cyber-law scholar and expert on technology policy and society, to discuss the current U.S. internet policy and what steps might be taken to ensure a successful and competitive internet infrastructure in the future.

The global threat of cyber-attacks on internet infrastructure has been amplified in recent years, with breaches affecting major financial institutions, the U.S. Department of Defense, and even entire countries.  In the U.S., President Obama has declared cybersecurity to be a national priority, stressing the importance of public-private collaboration. Despite this newfound policy attention to the issue of cybersecurity, broad-scale cooperation, both between national entities, and between the public and private sectors has not caught up to the global scale of cyber-attacks. Join Massimo Sarmi and Stephen Flynn, in discussing Poste Italiane's new initiative for global cooperation in ensuring cybersecurity.

About Poste Italiane's cybersecurity initiative:
Poste Italiane intends to create an International Centre of Excellence for Cyber Security, based in Rome, with a strong collaboration with the Ministry of Interiors, National Police and qualified partners coming from public institutions, private bodies, research institutions and international bodies. The objective of the Centre will be to act as a facilitator and collector of knowledge and culture in matters pertaining to Cyber Security, to support Italian and international organizations in acquiring knowledge and experience, to contribute towards the development of technical and regulatory standards for better protection of citizens, the government and private organizations.
