Network Neutrality: In Indie Studios' Interest


Author: John Eggerton

A Q&A with Independent Film & Television Alliance president Jean Prewitt. She says that content protection and network neutrality are not mutually exclusive. In Washington recently, Prewitt was helping educate the Hill and Federal Communications Commission about her members' concerns with potential vertical integration on the Internet — including raising some red flags about a potential melding of Comcast and NBC Universal — and to draw distinctions between her constituency and the major Hollywood studios. Here she talks about the importance of the network neutrality proposal to the future of her members, who produce and distribute independent TV and films.
