Sen. Kerry Turns to Blog for NN Feedback
Apr 21, 2008
In advance of tomorrow's Senate Commerce Committee hearing on the future of the Internet, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) is asking net neutrality supporters what they'd like to see discussed in the meeting.
In his second guest post at SaveTheInternet.com blog, a pro-net neutrality site operated by Free Press, Sen. Kerry writes:
This may be the only place I don't feel the need to play up the importance of tomorrow's Commerce Committee hearing on Net Neutrality.
When I've talked to other people - and when I post on other blogs - about this hearing, I always try to grab people's attention and tell them that, even with the primary tomorrow, we need to keep our eyes on the ball when it comes to Net Neutrality and the future of the Internet.
I know I don't have to tell all of you at SavetheInternet.com about that.
I know you realize the importance of the government setting the rules so that some traffic is not discriminated against in relation to other traffic...
The Senate hearing is scheduled for 10:00am ET; witnesses include actress Justine Bateman, Christian Coalition exec Michele Combs, Stanford professor Larry Lessig, NCTA's CEO Kyle McSlarrow, Patric Verrone of the Writers Guild of America and Dr. Robert Hahn of the American Enterprise Institute.
