Drew Clark’s Summary
I am a top technology journalist based in Washington. I am looking for investors and partners to help leverage the core strengths of BroadbandCensus.com.
I launched BroadbandCensus.com in January 2008 as a way to help the public learn about their local broadband speeds, prices, availability, reliability and competition. (We call it the "broadband SPARC.") I am the Editor and Executive Director of BroadbandCensus.com, and I lead our eight-person team's efforts to report news, provide reliable data, and host informative events about broadband. Read http://broadbandcensus.com/home/aboutus.
I have an intimate knowledge of current controversies and top people involved in broadband, broadcast & cable, intellectual property, privacy/surveillance, free speech issues, mobile communications, telephone regulation and Web 2.0.
I am also a highly articulate speaker, a careful and readable writer, and a strict moderator of panel discussions in the telecommunications, copyright and privacy debates.
