Consumer Groups Champion Internet Freedom Preservation Act

5/6/2008 Free Press press release:

In testimony before the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott urged lawmakers to protect consumers from Internet blocking by telephone and cable companies.

Scott testified at a hearing on the "Internet Freedom Preservation Act" (HR 5353) on behalf of Free Press, Consumers Union, Consumer Federation of America and Public Knowledge. This bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Reps. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Chip Pickering (R-Miss.), would firmly place consumer protections into the Communications Act to ensure that all broadband networks are open and free from gatekeepers.
