As mentioned in the last column ( Computer Graphics 33(2) May 1999), committee member Myles Losch and I will present and discuss the "last-mile" bandwidth issue at the annual Public Policy SIG meeting at SIGGRAPH 99 in Los Angeles. The meeting is Thursday, August 12 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in room 507 of the Los Angeles Convention Center. We will be reviewing the material contained in the May 1999 column and answering questions on technical topics and policy issues. All Internet users, particularly computer graphics users, will be interested in this topic.Each year the Computers, Freedom and Privacy (CFP) conference brings together technical people and policy makers to discuss issues resulting from the availability and use of computing technology. This year, Myles and I (well, mostly Myles) organized a session on "Last-Mile" Broadband Access with speakers representing all the major players. Below, Myles summarizes this session as well as presents highlights from the CFP 99 conference.
