CWA Opposes Sensenbrenner Net Neutrality Bill

CWA OPPOSES SENSENBRENNER NET NEUTRALITY BILL

The Communications Workers of America has written House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) opposing his network neutrality bill. Rep Sensenbrenner's bill would not allow networks to charge online content companies for providing them enhanced bandwidth or security, which CWA and the phone companies argue will not allow companies to get a return on their investments in network build-outs and slow those build-outs, and will delay the broadband rollout that is the driving force behind video franchise reform legislation in the House and Senate. CWA says it supports an open Internet, and even used the letter to plug legislation mandating cable à la carte, but said the Sensenbrenner bill was not the right approach.
