POLL: INTERNET VIDEO SHOULD BE REGULATED
[SOURCE: InfoWorld, AUTHOR: Grant Gross]
More than half of U.S. residents want the government to regulate Internet video in some way, according to a poll released Wednesday. Twenty-nine percent of those surveyed said Internet video should be regulated just like television content, and another 24 percent said the U.S. government should institute an online rating system similar to the one used by the movie industry, according to the poll, commissioned by 463 Communications, a Washington, D.C., public relations firm that specializes in high-tech issues. Only 36 percent of respondents agreed that government regulation of Internet video would raise constitutional issues. "I was really shocked that people look at the Internet the same way they look at TV," said Tom Galvin, a partner at 463. "People see [online video] as spiraling out of control, and they want government to do something about it."
