Don't Connect Government to 'Network Neutrality' Fight

DON'T CONNECT GOVERNMENT TO 'NETWORK NEUTRALITY' FIGHT
[SOURCE: Chicago Sun Times 9/6, AUTHOR: Editorial Staff]
[Commentary] What should Congress do, if anything, to regulate the Internet? The argument is between those who favor mandating "network neutrality" and those who don't. Put simply, neutrality is the idea that Internet providers should not be able to discriminate against any Web site -- be it Google or Amazon or an individual blogger -- but should treat them so that they all load on your computer at the same speed. The Internet has evolved and flourished precisely because it is free, competitive and open. Any changes that threaten that success should be taken seriously. But so should government regulation. We don't take lightly the fears of net neutrality proponents, but we don't think the government should get involved until there is clear evidence that involvement is needed.
