The Internet Policy Fantasy League

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) published a cute little guide with their take on who's who in Internet politics. The group names and descriptions were somewhat arbitrary and a bit silly in some cases, but that's beside the point for the moment. ITIF identifies eight teams.

The winner according to Brodsky? Team B: A large array of groups and individuals, including the Benton Foundation [hey, that's us!], Center for Democracy and Technology, Center for Digital Democracy, Civil Rights Forum on Communication Policy, Consumer Project on Technology, Electronic Privacy Information Center, Free Press, Media Access Project, and Public Knowledge, and scholars such as Columbia's Tim Wu, MIT Media Laboratory's David Reed, and most of those hanging their hats at Harvard's Berkman Center (among them Larry Lessig and Yochai Benkler). On intellectual firepower and moral dedication alone, Team B claims several advantages over the rest of the league. Furthermore, PK is proud to be included with this team. We couldn't have drafted any better. We couldn't be with a nicer, more dedicated and more astute bunch of people, all of whom are working to bring more people online, to make life online better and to make the online environment safer for everyone. Thanks, ITIF.
