Fujitsu will demonstrate biometric authentication in the form of palm vein technology and fingerprint sensors. Fujitsu will also demonstrate its biometrics technology and mobile products security.

Panasonic will showcase its Toughbook line of secure, wireless laptops. The laptops feature embedded wireless technology certified with all three carriers including Cingular, Sprint, and Verizon.

The Internet Caucus Co-Chairs, Senator Patrick Leahy and Congressmen Rick Boucher and Bob Goodlatte, will review the technology issues they feel will be drivers for Internet innovation and policymaking decisions. The Internet Caucus Co-Chairs will be joined by Members of a UK Parliament Internet Group (EURIM).

The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee is a diverse group of public interest, non-profit, and industry groups working to educate Congress and the public about important Internet-related policy issues.
