ASSEY: NETWORK OPERATORS HAVE INCENTIVE TO DISCRIMINATE
[SOURCE: C-Net|News.com, AUTHOR: Anne Broache]
At Pike & Fischer’s 2nd annual Broadband Policy Summit, James Assey, Jr., Democratic counsel to the Senate Commerce Committee, said of possible new Network Neutrality laws, "I'm not sure that we see anything wrong with setting up some rules of the road that will make sure everyone plays fair." He indicated that Senate Commerce Committee Co-Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) is concerned about laissez-faire rules proposed by Sen Ted Stevens. "I don't view this as new regulation of the Internet. In fact, I view it as reaffirming what has been a very old principle... that network operators with an ability and incentive to discriminate be prevented from doing so."
