Episode Synopsis

Columbia University Professor Henning Schulzrinne served as Chief Technologist at the Federal Communications Commission from 2011 to 2014. During his career, he has helped develop the key protocols that enable Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other multimedia applications, such as the Real Time Streaming and Real-time Transport Protocols. Schulzrinne recently sat down with HTF editor and founder Richard Bennett to discuss technology and the evolution of networking, especially as it pertains to next-generation 911. Schulzrinne also talked about what it was like to work at the increasingly political FCC - a "highly adversarial environment" where "you have to assume that people are not necessarily telling you the whole story."
