PUNKCAST#1689 NYC Council Net Neutrality Public Hearing City Hall NYC Nov 20 2009 on behalf of Internet Society - New York Chapter with thanks to City Hall |
| "Network Neutrality" |
|
In Feb. 2007 members of the NYC Council Committee on Technology in Government Committee introduced Resolution 712, calling on the federal government to pass net neutrality legislation, an unlikely prospect at the time. Now, with fresh faces in Washington, the FCC has taken up the cause, establishing the six principles of net neutrality. A new bill H.R. 3458 aka the 'Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009' was introduced in Congress, and is currently before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. For their part, Republicans have come up with two opposing bills. The NYC Resolution has, in recognition of this, been appropriately amended as Res. No. 712-A, and a public hearing was held on November 20 2009 at City Hall. The FCC has made a request for public comment on this matter and the Committee on Technology in Government will draw from the hearing's testimonies to draft a letter that includes citywide input. |
