Report # 2 - Live from the Summit

  I'm amused to see how many of "the usual suspects" have been
rounded up for this event.  Out in the lobby, I spoke briefly
with Mitch Kapor, Robert David Steele, David Lytel, Connie
Stout, Elaine Albright.

  Andrew Blau, Benton Foundation, has just begun his welcome
remarks... and is ticking off the list of public interest
foundations and other organizations who've jointly supported
this event.

  Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown is "speaking" on video.
He taped his opening remarks because he's physically in
Russia at the moment.

  Secretary Brown likened the IIF to the town commons of
the 18th century.  Secretary Brown chairs the Information
Infrastructure Task Force (IITF).   He has just stated the
Administration's commitment to Universal Service.  "No one
should be left standing on the side of the road."
