Carl Malamud ( Born: 1959 ) is a leading force in getting government data online and in creating public works for the Internet. He was the founder of the Internet Multicasting Service, the nonprofit group known for creating the first Internet radio station, for putting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR database on-line, and for creating the Internet 1996 World Exposition.
Carl is the author of eight books, including Exploring the Internet and A World's Fair. He was a visiting professor at the MIT Media Laboratory and was the former chairman of the Internet Software Consortium. He also was the co-founder of Invisible Worlds, was a fellow at the Center for American Progress, and is a board member of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.
Most recently, he challenged the information management policy of Smithsonian Networks[1], and convinced CSPAN to liberalize their video archive access policy[2].
