MEDIA INSTITUTE: NET NEUTRALITY LEGISLATION IS BAD IDEA
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Comments are coming into the FCC in response to its inquiry on broadband regulation, specifically what, if anything, it should do on the issue of network neutrality. The Media Institute, for one, says it says regulation is a bad idea. The institute, a media company-backed First Amendment think tank, argues that in the present marketplace, "there is no problem -- no clear and present danger to the openness of the Internet -- that requires regulatory action," saying that perceived harms, rather than actual ones, are fueling the drive for regulation.
