The people at Convergence Law Institute and Kamlet Shepherd spend a lot of
time scanning both old and new media for material relevant to our diverse projects.
Some of what comes to our attention is immediately relevant, some is of long-term
interest, much is drivel.
CURRENT READING is an informal way of sharing the results of this effort.
In it, we identify interesting material and add a few lines explaining why it
caught our attention. The emphasis is on the good; there is so much bad that
commenting on it is rarely cost-effective. But occasional splenetic impulses
are indulged, especially for books that are, in our never-humble opinions, over-hyped.
Included are not only books but grey literature: articles, reports, working
papers, congressional testimony, amicus briefs, rulemaking comments.
Suggestions/submissions from those who share our dedication to property rights
and markets are welcome.

About Convergence Law Institute
The Convergence Law Institute, LLC (CLI) is
a consulting firm that helps its clients develop and present strategies and arguments
on current public policy issues.
CLI’s work is based on the principles that
the institutions of property rights and markets are essential to continued economic
and technological development, in the U.S. and world-wide. We seek clients whose
business strategies embrace these views. We have been described as "a private
think tank."
The name "Convergence Law" comes
from the reality that services that were once separate — voice, video, data,
even the electric grid — are converging into streams of bits on public and private
Internet-protocol based platforms.
As a result, familiar legal and policy categories
that developed under earlier technologies are losing their coherence, with dramatic
effect on the rules governing competition, intellectual property, telecommunications,
media, and financial services. Both public and private organizations must rethink
policies, rules, and institutional mechanisms.
CLI is affiliated with the Washington, DC,
office of the law firm of Kamlet Shepherd & Reichert, LLP, which is based in Denver.
