Title: 10704: International Intrigue: Internet Gaming Developments
Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2004
Start Time: 2:00pm
End Time: 2:50pm
Description: Even as politicians in the United States resist all efforts to legalize Internet gaming, other jurisdictions are getting into the act. In the U.K., for example, the proposed draft gambling bill legalizes Internet gaming, a development that promises to make that country one of the leading Internet jurisdictions in the world. This session will explore how the growing legitimacy — and regulation — of Internet gaming has caused this pattern to be replicated in the U.K. and beyond.

My thoughts: hot topic. Wouldn't be better for players, businesspeople and IRS to have a licensed, regulated, and taxated online gaming environment? You bet! Hoping this seminar can open some minds...
