George S. Ford, Challenges in Using the National Broadband Map's Data, SSRN
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
Congress set forth an ambitious goal of establishing a definitive
National Broadband Map. Understandably, researchers are now anxious to
use the data received to quantify the extent of broadband availability
and to explain the relationships between availability and
socio-economic factors. While the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration should be lauded for its inaugural effort
to complete this Herculean task, it is nonetheless important to
recognize that the mapping data currently has many known and
yet-to-be-discovered defects. These errors include, but are not
limited to,

Danah Boyd , Urs Gasser and John G. Palfrey Jr. , How the COPPA, as
Implemented, is Misinterpreted by the Public: A Research Perspective,
Berkman Center
There is no doubt that protecting children's privacy and safety is of
utmost importance in our society. These issues are growing in
importance with every passing year. We commend the authors of COPPA
for being so deeply concerned about privacy and safety. As you
consider the future of legislation and rule-making in this area, we
urge you to consider the gap between the intentions of COPPA and how
children and their parents perceive the implementation. It is this gap
that we'd like to address in our submission. And it is our proposal
that this Subcommittee consider how COPPA's two P's – of Privacy
Protection – might be worked more effectively back into any revision
of COPPA.

Feds: 4th Amendment Shouldn't Apply To Online Emails Because... That
Would Make Us Have To Work Harder, Techdirt
Ah, our ever-dwindling Fourth Amendment. The latest is that the Obama
Administration has come out against a particular reform of ECPA (the
Electronic Communications Privacy Act), the 25-year-old statute that
governs online privacy issues, which almost anyone with any sort of
technical knowledge admits is woefully outdated. For example, a key
point is that any content

Six myths about the Internet, Virulent Word of Mouse
On April 7th, 2011, I had the great pleasure to deliver the Tullock
Lecture at the Law School for George Mason University. After
discussing it with the organizer, Tom Hazlett, the talk became focused
on a number of provocative and (partially) entertaining themes.
Hazlett suggested the talk's title, which was "The Mythology of
Networks."
