All of this. It was his vision to create an organization that could curate policy organizations policy conversations when no one really cared about it.

Berman is congressman goodlatte here . He is coming in. It is an honor for me to be here and to introduce congressman goodlatte. As many of you know, he is retiring this year after a long run in virginia. He has always been a leader on internet policy. He worked tirelessly on encryption policy, surveillance policy geared weve dialogued over the years on these issues. But what was critical and he has been absolutely critical to the success of the internet education foundation, which runs because of
Bob Goodlatte
and tim morgan, and they both deserve a hand just for that. [applause] my last word before i turn it over to bob, back when we started this, the big issue wasthe internet was a am spam. We were a footnote in the telecom rewrite of 1996. Was as therned internet group, there were going to be multiple policy issues that confronted it. But there was going to be no global government to govern it, and what we had to do is consider ourselves part of a community with a responsibility to work together, not just for the bottom line, but for the health and openness of this media, and that required state of the net, annually coming together and determine what are the issues, working together not just in this room, but having a dialogue between government,
Civil Society
and the private sector, not going off on your own, but
Holding Hands
to put solutions together. Because if you dont do that, we will not end up with an open internet. As i pass along, i just urge you, think community, think cooperation, think dialogue. Bob goodlatte has helped us with that and he deserves a lot of credit and im really glad to be here to introduce him and he will introduce our speaker. Thank you very much. [applause] wow, jerry thank you for those very kind words. They are from the heart, but they are not as deserved as you say.

Companies Like
zello. Bill, welcome very much. We are delighted to have you with us today. Mr. Moore thank you very much. Delighted to be here. Thank you for having me. Mr. Goodlatte let us give him a round of applause. [applause] mr. Goodlatte tell us about zello. You have a free version and a paid version. Mr. Moore as you said, it is a walkietalkie app on your phone and if anybody had the thrill of the kid on a walkietalkie, zello is about live voice communication to improve
Human Flourishing
through voice communication, whether companionship or cooperation solving problems. It is such a fine medium to work with. The internet today is a sterile, hostile place with lots of text and pictures, and live a voice as we are now is wonderful because its real. You cant fake. But that creates a level of intimacy that doesnt exist in text or photos or other style communication. Voice demands attention from both sides. It creates trust. Its how we most naturally communicate. A 2yearold can use zello, a 90yearold person can use zello. To answer your question, we have appnsumer up consumer where we have 120 million registered users to stay in touch with friends and family or people they know. They have private or public channels. The other half is the revenue model that
Companies Use
zello to replace radios as they deploy mobile apps to their workforce until somebody will be rolling out workflow application and you kind of think why are we spending 500, 1500 on the secure radios they are sixyear in location and 100dollar wifi does the same thing or 150
Android Phone
for mobile worker. Mr. Moore mr. Goodlatte how do you monetize that . Is six dollars per month per user. Is best majority of the use with the individuals who use the
Free Consumer
version. Mr. Goodlatte very good. Tell us about these very
Practical Applications
that may not have been anticipated by people when they found themselves in crisis, like the socalled cajun navy, boats going out into neighborhoods to find people and rescue them out of their houses. They had to coordinate their information. What can you tell us about that . Mr. Moore it wasnt a complete surprise because radio has been a go to communication tool when the stakes are high. Again, it is little voice, you can hear a motion and coordinate large groups of people efficiently. And really the first inkling weve had in these crisis situations is in various countries, zello has been the number one overall apps starting spring,y in the arab and egypt. The government of venezuela shut down zello during the height of their troubles, which unfortunately havent ended. Ukraine, it was the number one overall app. Another before harvey, south africa has a terrible crime problem and they developed a crowd source neighborhood watch,. 11 backup around zello millions of people use it. They are very effective. Navy gets the credit , if anyone saw whats happening with
Hurricane Harvey
and some others. They came together after katrina. They came to houston for harvey was first used, because they had some attention, they used over multiple instances and learned zello works really great. If you need help to get on zello. There were thousands and thousands of people who came from texas and nearby with rocks with trucks and boats and chainsaws and fuel. As they are on the highway driving, they are finding zello channels and they are finding these dispatchers who emerged kind of bottomup, in sending them to the right places, and if people need help they are finding zello channels. Very effective, very exciting. It was a communication tool for the thousands of volunteers and what they brought to bear was so effective. Mr. Goodlatte is this an example of the internet and new technology undercutting or supplementing the traditional way people wouldve addressed it. What have addressed it . Prior disasters, prior hurricanes, they did not have this same
Technology Available
and very few people would have had that instant communication because only the police, fire, rescue organizations would have the big, traditional walkietalkie type devices. Now youve got everybody able to communicate with everybody else who has a device with this app. Mr. Moore supplementing. There is overlap and plenty of room to improve. We can get into how these public agencies with the rule of law structured and trained work better with a huge number of volunteers. But forever,
Disaster Recovery
means set up a tent on site, handout radios, 1500, protocols for who can use them. If you have a radio, you are pretty special. There is a command structure created around that. So we saw with harvey and also irma and another example in puerto rico, and another one in mexico. Now everybody has a radio. Anyone with a mobile phone can download the app. It makes this possible, it is reliable and superfast. It is available to everybody. Not only that, they dont have to be on site. What we saw was these dispatchers that emerged and put together within hours and amazingly effective process for who gets help, what is the structure like, what are the rules . These dispatchers didnt need to be in the tent. Half of them were out of state. One of the best was in new jersey working from their bedroom on a mobile phone. It is this wonderful infrastructure that we can take advantage of that is going to happen bottomup because people can get to it and want to help. Mr. Goodlatte and that is not how most people are using it. It is something families are deploying so they can talk to maybe a parent or someone else living by themselves. There means of communicating with families. Mr. Moore theres so many use cases in a really broad demographic of the kinds of people who use zello. Friends and family would be one. If you are going on a ski trip, theres really no reason to buy walkietalkies. Or if you are going camping, probably the same. Or if you have a checkered with your friend. You want to organize young people at a bar, perfect for that. It is also popular for connecting with people you dont know. There are millions of public channels. Often they are about a topic. Club, and mini cooper they will get on the channel for a rally. There is a channel called the glasscock channel, profanity laden, fun to listen to when youre drinking with your buddies. A weather watcher, storm chaser channel or religious evangelical channels. All sorts of public channels. Mr. Goodlatte how has the
Network Infrastructure
played a role in innovations like zello . Mr. Moore it has been so exciting. I spent the first half of my career in
Enterprise Networking
and early internet protocols and that sort of thing. 20, 30 years,rd it is unbelievable, these devices everybody has in their pockets are so cheap and fast and so great. And so
Companies Like
zello, theres 23 people in the company with 120 million users. Making a difference in just the leverage and power that these layers of technology have had on society, it has been so much fun to watch and so exciting, and it wouldnt exist in any way whatsoever had that nonexistent. Mr. Goodlatte with that in mind, what role do you see the public having in encouraging that kind of investment in infrastructure that is necessary to make
Something Like
zello work . Mr. Moore of the free market style guide, this would be personal. Be careful and lets not fix whats not broken. Its worked extraordinarily well. Becomethe thing that has clear to me, through the emergencies, you brought this up earlier, how much to supplement, what is friend and what is foe. It is clearly friend. But its easy to see that the official organizations are looking in, where you can help and seeing if people can help by looking out. What is happening here . These newbest use technologies and alternatives that are moving so much faster because they are in such a different environment . Mr. Goodlatte you are a texasbased company. Was the decision made to locate there, or was it that you were there . Mr. Moore very purposeful. The company was really built in texas, we moved to palo alto for
Venture Investors
and hire people. The shortlist was, do we move this to san francisco, lol to texas . To, or to austin, and we chose austin with no regret. Austin is a wonderful business climate. Often really is a fabulous place with a culture that the slogan is keep austin weird and its true. In every dimension. It accepts unorthodox behavior and thinking. There is a worldclass university there. Its very easy to encourage people to move to austin, so where we dont have the talent locally. Its been a great decision. Mr. Goodlatte what should states and cities be thinking about in trying to attract investment in businesses and talent like youve brought together with zello . Mr. Moore i wonder how much they can do, you know, stand of the way would be one answer. Again, a light touch. It does feel like so much of it needs to be organic. The university has to be key wherever you see this
Technology Communities
working. And i guess government can help quite a lot there. , youoodlatte before zello , and audioe in streaming service. You may not know it, but you have listened to it. It streams for amazons alexa and other smartphone devices. Tell us about tunein and your journey from tunein to zello. Mr. Moore the journey to tunein started early in my career. I wanted a company and went way too long getting ready and have to learn all these different disciplines. My own story was 9 11 happened the year i was 40 years old. I thought this a wakeup call. The original idea with tivo for radio, because i love audio, i love radio and i thought ok, the make r radio, now lets tivo, but not that many people want that. ,hrough a pretty tough period 5, 6 years of supporting connected devices for radio features, the iphone came out with apps and exploded and quickly became a top overall app, top 50 app for quite a while and most of the markets around the globe and finally about that time would have been getting a knock on the door from sequoia capital, who said we like whats going on. Why dont we help . About that time, zello is really the brainchild of the founder and cto. He and his team had done such great work from st. Petersburg, russia. Using an
Amazing Development
team. I tried to get a handful of those people with some success, and he was a holdout. He starts to get some traction , which was a different kind of radio. Live conversation,. Conversations. Conversation, peer conversations. People have campouts, they send us the pictures, if you search on facebook for it. He was an unbelievable talent from st. Petersburg, russia needed help and thats the point we moved to austin. Room, weatte in the have a lot of people engaged in
Internet Technology
Public Policy
issues, but we also have entrepreneurs here and online we have lots of people who are starting up their own tech companies. Any advice you would give them . You have had two successes. Mr. Moore two successes and one major mistake was making decisions because youre afraid because its hard. When i look back, most of my mistakes have been because of that. Youre doing something because youre afraid of what may go wrong. In the case of tunein, we had no revenue model, and there was good reason to be afraid for a long time. [laughter] happily with zello, we have a wonderful revenue model and because i am more mature theres cash in the bank , and not nearly as afraid and so find a revenue model that works where you are not dependent on outside money coming in for too long because thats a pretty risky business. Mr. Goodlatte these companies have a bit of a connection between the two, as well. Radio has in recent years been viewed as old tech as opposed to electric cars or the internet of things. What is your take on that . Why is radio such an exciting innovation for you . Mr. Moore radio isabel voice. Music, talk, sports, conversations. Podcasts are a form of radio. It is such a fundamental part of being human, so its been around forever. Itradio or phone calls, is a. M. , fm, ham radio, cb radio satellite radio. Those are incidental. But the median itself is very exciting and the advertising medium is phenomenal. Someone you trust in your head as a way of solving problems. As a way of passing time. One of the great things about radio is it is a companion. You can enjoy radio, and joint audio while you are doing something else. So unlike a video, you can be driving and listening or running and listening. It is a medium that is always with you. And the cello version, it is a medium that has so much power to communicate compared to text. But it doesnt have the barriers or cost of a video. It doesnt have the social barriers. When are you going to turn on your skype camera . It is a prebar pretty high bar for when people are comfortable versus when would you turn on your microphone. So it is the fundamental way we enjoy as being human. It isnt going away, a great mix of technology. Im so excited about the alexa
Voice Control
operation. In streams a tune lot of sports, including my favorite, major league baseball. And i am wondering if the future his live events like sports or music. Mr. Moore tunein has been anchored on live from the beginning and one of the things that is so special about radio. It is live, happening now. And of course sports really demand live, and so tv and radio, there is recognition that is a core. Audio advertising is a pretty tough business to be building a subscription option, which is great because it is tough for because it is also true for podcasts, theres still not a great digital market for audio apps, but sports is important, news, talk and music. Mr. Goodlatte do we caps on do we have time for questions . [indiscernible] mr. Moore well, you need some kind of data connection. There was that information really at the start of the hurricanes, it worked by magic, i guess. No it needs a network. ,it could be any kind of network. Wifi or cellular. But it works well around the globe in countries where they have terrible networks. It typically works for nothing else works, and thats one of the reasons its been popular in a crisis situation. But youve got to have something. Mr. Goodlatte more questions. Yes, sir. The federal government and states are investing frankly billions of dollars in deploying a nationwide first net network. This description of zello sounds like it would eliminate the need for that type of investment. Am i misunderstanding what your
Service Provides
. Mr. Moore
First Responders
need a
Bob Goodlatte<\/a> and tim morgan, and they both deserve a hand just for that.

This description of zello sounds like it would eliminate the need for that type of investment. Am i misunderstanding what your
Service Provides<\/a> . Mr. Moore
First Responders<\/a> need a
Reliable Network<\/a> and they need to be able to communicate between agencies. Sure there is a need for first net style technology. We are not that close to first net. Our business traction in the commercial sector first, although we have some government business. These agencies need a network that is reliable where they can communicate between organizations. It doesnt need to be radio. Thats been tough for these agencies. As a citizen, you look at the amount of spectrum allocated for public service. For technologies that are reliable, theyve been around a long time. But the real life reliability of todays
Cellular Networks<\/a> are unbelievable, and so applications like zello can ride over the top without all the money or complications, and certainly are wellsuited for citizens, and this match of citizens and agencies. Im pretty excited about how can zello do better there. Mr. Goodlatte i am informed we have time for one more question. Wenthand when up first up first. Thank you, gentlemen. I work with congress on bringing it into the 21st century. Id be really interested in hearing both of your opinions on this. So congress has really not kept up with
Digital Technologies<\/a> certainly. It also working on it 45 less capacity on expertise than in the 1970s. Mr. Goodlatte how do you measure that . I can get you the data. Mr. Goodlatte i would like to see that. Its only recently theres been longitudinal data. Things like 30 to 50 of hearings happening and they fallen off the radar screen. One idea that some of us have is we create, through technology and data, sort of a cspan ur, which doesnt but it would be a sort of civic duration channel for congress that has time and space restrictions that old institutions have attempted i know you have been on top of the internet forever, and a cofounder of the caucus in the 1990s, i believe, when i worked on the hill. And it seems like now it is possible to do this, but the problem is, as you put it, there is no review no revenue model for congress. Organization, and this kind of service would be a disaster in the source really unless youre really strict rules put around it to protect it. Do you see this as some possibility on behalf of
Democratic Institutions<\/a> . Mr. Moore well, yes i guess the short answer, what is realistic, how much can we help . One of the lessons from harvey back to send a mass scale is a self organizing with the right infrastructure and the right rules respond to meet the needs of society in such a wonderful way. Of course, a free market is based on that principle. Not totally, would a wikipedia style market for the dissemination and orchestration of that . I dont know, that is way outside my zone of expertise. I know at zello, we are totally satisfied when you see what you work on be used for good and make a different in society. Im sure that is true for most every other technology business. Mr. Goodlatte that is a challenge for both of us. I think we are the last thing standing between you and lunch, and therefore we are going to get out of the way. Will tellto you you how to go about getting lunch.
