Hello. Welcome back to, day two. Sorry about the delay. Thank you for joining us. I won't go over my spiel -- we have very limited limited time today -- that I gave at the opening of State of the Net yesterday, but just to recap very quickly. This is the State of the Net conference. This is our 17th annual, this conference was started in 2005, when the Internet looked very, very different. Hopefully -- unfortunately we are in virtual this year -- hopefully, with a little bit of luck, and some hard work, we'll get back to being in person next year in 2021, and I think it's really important that the Internet policy community come together, particularly as new people come into the Internet policy space. We've been having these conversations for years, but more and more people are coming in as the issues kind of rise in importance, and getting together and sharing ideas, particularly viewpoints that are different than your own, is really important. We really want Internet policy to be collaborative, and certainly not a bastion of tribalism. I think everybody has really good ideas, and we should be sharing them.
I will not spend a lot of time on our sponsors, but we have Comcast, NBC Universal, Facebook, Verizon, Amazon, AT&T, NCTA, Rapid 7, Twitter, Venable, Lumen, Internet Society DC chapter, and the folks that are helping us with communications for this, the Glen Echo group, which is a great public affairs and media relations organization that we're thrilled to have helping us this year.
The agenda, for you guys. You can click on the agenda, it's at SOTN2021.sched.com, and I sent out that link, and you can see the entire agenda for today. We start off with some Internet issues related to broadband performance, as well as impacted communities. We have our signature keynote today with Michael Powell, former FCC Chairman and current CEO of NCTA. After lunch we'll go back into some content moderation issues, for which we have a great panel including Jamal Green, who's the co-chairman of the Facebook oversight board, so he has a lot of decisions on his plate. Cybersecurity then, with Congressman Katko, followed by the Geopolitics of the Internet, and we're going to finish up with some antitrust, tech competitio,n at the end of the day at about 3:55, followed by Senator Amy Klobuchar, who's going to give the final keynote.
