BITTORRENT, VUZE, FREE PRESS BACK MARKEY'S NET-NEUTRALITY BILL
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: ]
BitTorrent chief technology officer Eric Klinker and other network neutrality backers Thursday were lining up behind Rep. Ed Markey's (D-MA) just-introduced bill that they say would write open-access principles into law. On a conference call with reporters, Klinker and representatives of Free Press and Vuze called Markey's bill the right legislation at the right time, saying that impeding peer-to-peer file sharing can stifle innovation and is anticompetitive since networks like Comcast’s compete directly with video services, or even single individuals, who use the service.
