We pointed out the other day that net neutrality fiends want public ownership of the Internet access network. Hereââ¬â¢s a report from Broadband News on what that looks like:
Culver City, California was the first Los Angeles municipality to offer the public a free all-access Wi-Fi network. Theyââ¬â¢re also the first to ban all porn and p2p from that network, according to an announcement made yesterday.

Federal Trade Commission examines net neutrality
Move welcomed by consumer groups
“We certainly look forward to the analysis of an agency that exists to protect competition of the broadband market in which 98 percent of customers receive their service from either the telephone company or the cable company, if they have that choice at all,” Public Knowledge President Gigi Sohn said in an email. “There are no market forces at work here, much as Chairman Majoras wishes there to be.”
The FTC will host a conference, from 6 to 8 November, focusing on protecting consumers in an era of converging technologies, Majoras also announced. The conference, named “Protecting Consumers in the Next Tech-Ade”, will focus on emerging trends, applications, products, services and tech issues in the next decade, she said.
The preliminary agenda can be found here.

FTC Chairman Addresses Issue of ââ¬ÅNet Neutralityââ¬Â
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras today told a meeting of the Progress & Freedom Foundation that she has formed an Internet Access Task Force to examine issues being raised by converging technologies and regulatory developments, and to educate and inform the enforcement, advocacy and education initiatives of the Commission. ââ¬ÅI also have asked the Internet Access Task Force to address what is likely the most hotly debated issue in communications, so-called ââ¬Ënetwork neutrality,ââ¬â¢Ã¢â¬Â she said.
ââ¬ÅThe FTCââ¬â¢s Internet Access Task Force is looking carefully at the issues raised by calls for network neutrality laws. . . . I urge caution in proceeding on the issue. I . . . question the starting assumption that government regulation, rather than the market itself under existing laws, will provide the best solution to a problem,ââ¬Â Majoras said.
Majoras said there are points that should be considered before enactment of legislation to regulate the Internet, since regulation will have impact ââ¬Åfor years to come.ââ¬Â
[. . . ]
ââ¬ÅWhile I am sounding cautionary notes about new legislation, let me make clear that if broadband providers engage in anticompetitive conduct, we will not hesitate to act using our existing authority. But I have to say, thus far, proponents of net neutrality regulation have not come to us to explain where the market is failing or what anticompetitive conduct we should challenge; we are open to hearing from them,ââ¬Â she said.
Majoras also said the FTC will host a conference with ââ¬Åan array of experts from around the world to inform us about what they see as emerging trends, applications, products, services, and issues over the next ten years.ââ¬Â A preliminary agenda for the hearings, named ââ¬ÅProtecting Consumers in the Next Tech-Ade,ââ¬Âis being released today. Copies of the agenda can be found at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/techade/tech-ade_agenda_preliminary.pdf
