Vonage CEO calls for "Broadband Bill of Rights"
Colin C. Haley writes on internetnews.com:
Jeffrey Citron, CEO of VoIP giant Vonage, called for a "broadband bill of rights" at the Voice Over Net (VON) show here Monday.
The document -- which will be developed with Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL and others in the Internet community -- would serve as a guideline for state and local lawmakers as they tackle a number of communications issues.
The aim is to help craft a "light but thoughtful regulatory environment," Citron said.
Citron identified five broad guiding principals, including a minimum speed of one megabyte for DSL and cable providers.
Other tenants include the right to connect any device to the network; the right to access anything legal on the Internet; the right to privacy; and the right to quality-of-service guidelines.
"We look for participation from the industry and everyone in this industry," Citron said.
