GOODLATTE PREDICTS MORE NET NEUTRALITY HEARINGS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) co-chair of the Congressional Internet Caucus says that he is "Very, very concerned" about the prospects for an Internet toll road with customers paying for priority access to the Internet. But he said that while he supports the "concept of net neutrality," he is also concerned about government overregulation of the Internet, preferring to toughen antitrust laws to deal with the issue. Rep Goodlatte said he introduced a bill several years ago promoting open access, which he defined as "making sure that consumers, small businesses and others have an open opportunity to reach each other in a fair, competitive way, and concern that the people who control the pipes don't essentially put up a toll system."
