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.
