House Antitrust Task Force to Examine Claims of Censorship by Broadband Providers

The House Judiciary Committee's newly formed Task Force on Competition Policy and Antitrust Laws will hold a hearing March 11 on Net Neutrality and Free Speech on the Internet. The witness list has not yet been announced. The hearing promises to air some of the same issues aired at the Federal Communications Commission's Feb. 25 meeting in Cambridge, Mass. -- charges that large broadband providers have engaged in bandwidth degradation against some types of content and some technologies, such as peer-to-peer file-sharing applications. BNA will be there. If you'd like to join us, get there early.
