 Francisco Main Library-Lower Level Latino Room B\n100 Larkin St/Market St 
 Next to Civic Center BART\nSan Francisco\n\nThe relationship between 
 internet rights, Open Access and Public Access are inter-related and are 
 directly connected to labor and worker rights in the US and internationally 
 . This panel will look at the issue of what constitutes internet rights, 
 various proposals for open access and the history of public access both in 
 the US and internationally. It will look at how labor and workers 
 internationally are grappling with these issues and the use of the internet 
 by corporations and workers who are organizing for their rights.\nWe will  
 also focus on developments like the plan "Zero Rating" and free access 
 proposals like the www.internet.org plan controlled by Facebook that is 
 being pushed outside the United States and regulatory rights. We will look 
 at how this affects workers and labor communication globally.\n\nSponorsed
