David Isenberg is trying to organize an "instant conference" — basically, get 30 yesses from people interested in talking about the value of and challenges to the "Stupid Network," find a venue, and show up. He's calling it WTF?
+ If Clay Christensen or his co-workers show up, I want
to learn the new taxonomy of disruptive technology.
+ If George Gilder or his compadres arrive, I'd like to
get the skinny on ILEC fiber and Chinese capitalism.
+ If Porter Stansberry comes, I won't let him escape
without hearing why the U.S. is following telecom into
bankruptcy.
+ If Halley Suitt comes, I hope she's misbehaving.net with
her blogsisters.
+ If recent SMART List joiner Gerry Butters shows up, I'll
hope for insight into Lucent's murky future.
+ If Clay Shirky shows, I'll want to hear about the Art of
War according to the RIAA.
+ If Cory Doctorow arrives, I hope somebody will challenge
him on how musicians make a living when copying is
frictionless.
+ If Bob Lucky shows up, I'd be tempted to give him a
fireplace, a comfortable chair, a glass of brandy and
as much time as he wants.
