The Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities was formed in December 2002, to address problems arising from the perceived high volume of unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing taking place on college campuses. Among other activities, the Joint Committee has issued an RFI related to services and technologies providing authorized network access to music and other material. About a dozen responses to this RFI have been received. This session will review the work of the Joint Committee, especially focusing on the results of this RFI.
