FTC Chief Cool on Net Neutrality

Roy Mark writes on internetnews.com:

Lawmakers should proceed cautiously on passing laws involving network neutrality, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras said today.

Speaking at the Progress and Freedom Foundation's annual summer conference in Aspen, Colo., Majoras announced she was forming an Internet Access Task Force to study convergence issues with a focus on network neutrality.

Calling network neutrality the "most hotly debated issue in communications," Majoras herself expressed doubts about the need for any new legislation.
