The Dangers of Network Neutrality Regulation
Cato Institute
CAPITOL HILL BRIEFING
B-354 Rayburn House Office Building
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
12:00 PM (Lunch Included)
Featuring Timothy B. Lee, Adjunct Scholar for the Cato Institute and member of the Center for IT Policy at Princeton University and Jerry Brito, Senior Research Fellow for the Mercatus Center and Adjunct Professor of Law at George Mason University School of Law
Despite the defeat of network neutrality legislation in 2006, President-elect Obama—a "net neutrality" supporter—and Congress are likely to put government regulation of the Internet at the top of their technology agenda for 2009. Technology policy scholars Tim Lee and Jerry Brito will review what network neutrality is, why it matters, and how regulations could stifle innovation online. They will also talk about the recent power grab in the Comcast network neutrality case.
