NET NEUTRALITY HEARING Next Monday, April 30 at 1 PM in the Council Chambers of City Hall, an oversight hearing will be held with the Committee on Technology in Government on the topic of "Establishing Strong Network Neutrality Principles in Order to Protect the Internet. The hearing will focus on Resolution No. 712 (<http://webdocs.nyccouncil.info/textfiles/Res%200712-2007.htm>http://webdocs.nyccouncil.info/textfiles/Res%200712-2007.htm), which was introduced in the City Council in February 2007. Sponsored by Council Member Gale Brewer, Res. 712 calls upon the United States Congress "to codify strong network neutrality principles in order to insure that the Internet will continue to foster innovation, increase competition, and spur economic growth as well as making the Internet faster and more affordable for all." The Committee is interested in hearing testimony on what network neutrality entails, community concerns regarding its use, and the future of the Internet without protections for network neutrality. Industry representatives from Google, Time Warner, Cablevision and Verizon as well as experts and advocacy organizations have been invited to testify.
