Go, and Throw Tomatoes at the 'Yes' Side

Tomorrow AFF is hosting a Capitol Hill roundtable -- away from its normal Dupont-ish environs. (I wonder if one of AFF's staffers will bitch at people for smoking under the stars on The Hill, too, and tape up passive-aggressive anti-smoking signs in their vicinity. Just wondering.) The event, "Network Neutrality: Should Government Regulate the Internet?", will be moderated by the especially cool Jerry Brito.

I, for one, thought we'd gotten past wondering whether "a conservative case [can] be made in favor of government regulation" -- if these last several years have taught us anything it's that a conservative case can be made for pretty much any sort of government intrusion. Nevertheless, according to AFF, panelists debating this and other questions will include...

...James Gattuso, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Patrick Ross, senior fellow and VP for communications at Progress & Freedom Foundation, Alex Curtis of government affairs manager at Public Knowledge, and Frannie Wellings of Free Press.

This event will take place on Capital Capitol Hill, in the Rayburn House Office Building, Room B-338. Drinks start at 6:30 p.m.; panel begins at 7 p.m. AFF Roundtables are free for members, $5 for non-members.

I can't make it -- I'll be in an airplane -- but you should go and tell me how it was.
