Bill gates, Steve Jobs, and Richard Stallman agree that the most
important code on any home or business computer is the license.

Free software's main, presenting, and overwhelming, advantage is

throw away the main argument for free software.

We tape keynotes, and panelists as live representation of the event for our online viewers. We also conduct interviews live from the showroom floor from different companies who are interested in having a virtual presence(an extension of their booth) to reach out to our large online audience. For example last year we had over 49k views during the event, as seen here: http://www.fededtv.com/events/govsec/090311/ .This year we anticipate more than 55k viewers.

This channel provides informational programming and e-learning opportunities on homeland defense topics for police and law enforcement, government agencies, corporate security personnel, and first responders. Government agencies such as: U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and more than 20 other government agencies.
