RSSCAGW to FCC: Net Neutrality is a Bad Solution in Search of a Non-Existent Problem
CAGW | November 9, 2009
CAGW once again this month reiterated its strong opposition to the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) intention to embark on a regulatory goose chase. On October 22, the FCC began its ill-conceived venture into drafting new rules and regulations to dictate how broadband companies must manage access to the Internet. “Contrary to the lingo, ‘net neutrality’ is anything but neutral,” stated CAGW President Tom Schatz. “The Internet has flourished with a minimum of political intervention. There is no pressing need for government involvement and no good will come from the government’s creating a phony role for itself. The Internet has been a wide-open playing field for a whole host of fierce competitors and has flourished because of government’s benign indifference. However, the new culture in Washington dictates that there is nothing anymore that is off-limits to the long arm of the feds…Taxpayers will rue the day that government regulation choked off innovation on the Internet…Any new federal regulatory role will necessitate a giant and expensive bureaucracy, whose employees will serve as the Internet police.” Read more about the FCC’s planned net neutrality rules.
