In this session, panelists will explore several potential future(s) of work scenarios based on two variables: government regulation and internet fragmentation. Are we facing a Techlash with heavy regulation and a fragmented internet? Or a Wide Open scenario with light regulation and a seamless internet? Or something in between the extremes? Panelists will discuss the pros and cons of each scenario, and attendees will have the chance to vote on the likelihood of each.
