FCC Urged To Protect Web Entertainment

Hollywood studios are asking the Federal Communications Commission to make protecting creative content online a core principal of its national broadband plan. In a late Friday filing, the Motion Picture Association of America wrote that if the plan -- due to Congress in February -- is to serve as a roadmap for high-speed Internet service for all Americans, the government must recognize the role content plays in driving adoption of new technologies. The filing came on the heels a September FCC workshop that featured testimony from MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman and Paramount Pictures Chief Operating Officer Frederick Huntsberry.
