*Sorry for cross posting* Dear all,
CELE and the Center for Studies on Technology and Society (CETYS) would like to invite you to the workshop *“Having your cake and eating it too: can internet rights and access goals be reconciled?”*, *tomorrow from 9 to 10.30 a.m. in Workshop Room 1*.
This workshop seeks to address how internet governance often seems to navigate between two seemingly competing goals: on the one hand, the protection of desirable governance principles such as user privacy and the open architecture of the network; on the other, the provision of affordable access to internet infrastructure and services to as many users as possible.
Some of the key questions that will orient the debate are: How can a balance be struck between these seemingly competing goals? Can empirical research help advance the discussion beyond the statement of principles? Are internet governance principles necessarily at odds with expanded access goals? In other words, can we have our cake and it eat too?
