Guest of Honour: Alex Blowers, Director of International, Ofcom

As Ofcom consults on whether to end net neutrality, this seminar will examine internet traffic management, whether it's necessary in the UK, the possible economic benefits, and what the unintended consequences may be for users and the network operators.

Discussions will also look ahead to how traffic management may work in practice and the options to ensure transparency for users, and consider whether consumers need to be protected with a minimum level of service guarantee.

We are delighted that this seminar will include keynote presentations from: Alex Blowers, Director of International, Ofcom; Professor Martin Cave, Regulatory Economist, London School of Economics and Political Science; Anna Fielder, Consumer Policy Advisor; Board Member, Privacy International; Andrew Heaney, Executive Director, Strategy and Regulation, TalkTalk; Nigel Hickson, Head of EU and International ICT Policy, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills; Jean-Jacques Sahel, Director, Government and Regulatory Affairs, Europe, Middle-East and Africa, Skype; and Nick White, Executive Vice President, INTUG (International Telecommunications Users Group). Further contributors are currently being approached.
