ELECTRONICS GROUP RESTATES CASE FOR NET NEUTRALITY
[SOURCE: San Francisco Chronicle, AUTHOR: Tom Abate]
The American Electronics Association reiterated its position that Congress should enact regulations to maintain the status quo with regard to broadband pricing, namely that all Internet traffic should get the same treatment at the same price. Proponents call this "Network Neutrality." In a 4-page report titled "The Case for Preserving Network Neutrality," the AEA repeats many familiar arguments about giving too much pricing power to telephone and cable firms that provide more than 90 percent of the broadband access in the United States. But the report adds one new bit of information to the debate: how much content providers already pay to pump electronic traffic through the Web.
