Gigi B. Sohn, president of Public Knowledge, endorsed allowing telephone companies to offer video programming under a “national franchise,†if Congress also enacts a policy requiring “net neutrality.†Sohn said, “should Congress grant video providers the extraordinary regulatory relief represented by national broadband video franchises  turning nearly 40 years of local control of video services on its head -- Congress must also ensure “net neutrality.†Such a policy would ensure that those same companies make their broadband networks available to all applications, content and service providers on a non-discriminatory basis.â€
