Gigi B. Sohn, president of Public Knowledge, endorsed allowing telephone companies to offer video programming under a “national franchise,” if Congress also enacts a policy requiring “net neutrality.” Sohn said, “should Congress grant video providers the extraordinary regulatory relief represented by national broadband video franchises ­ turning nearly 40 years of local control of video services on its head -- Congress must also ensure “net neutrality.” Such a policy would ensure that those same companies make their broadband networks available to all applications, content and service providers on a non-discriminatory basis.”
