Wireless Silicon Valley

Privacy and Security in a Wireless World

The Wireless Silicon Valley Task Force is developing a model agreement with vendors. What should the agreement say about privacy protections and security?

To answer this question, Joint Venture and the Task Force organized a public forum on August 23, 2006 at Santa Clara University. Each of the speakers presented a point of view. Then the audience had a chance to ask questions. A summary of the discussion is being developed by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and will be posted here as soon as it is ready. We will also provide access to a video recording of the presentation and discussions as soon as it is ready.
