John Morris will speak at a National Town Hall Webcast on Net Neutrality, Copyright Protection and the National Broadband Plan.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski has confirmed that he will offer video remarks to kick off the Town Hall Webcast, by BroadbandBreakfast.com.

The event is on track to be the definitive Washington gathering — where the telecom, media and technology industries thrash out their perspectives in an informative and neutral setting.

The event will be moderated by respected Washington journalists Kim Hart, Reporter for The Hill, and Drew Clark, Editor of BroadbandBreakfast.com.

The national broadband plan under consideration by the Federal Communications Commission promises wide-ranging changes in this country’s approach to high-speed communication.

Among the most controversial topics is whether copyright issues should be included as part of the plan — and whether the prospect for inclusion is likely to influence private-sector negotiations between content, telecommunications and technology companies.
