I thought you'd find this of interest: http://netcompetition.org/index.php/101/ ------------------------------------ Scott Cleland launches NetCompetition.org, a forum to discuss net neutrality and the future of the Internet Scott Cleland, president of Precursor® LLC and a leading expert in the techcom industry, today launched NetCompetition.org, a new e-forum to promote an open, rigorous, and illuminating debate of “net neutrality” and the dueling visions for the future of the Internet. Given that the debate has generated “a lot of heat without a lot of light,” the NetCompetition.org website will be a useful and substantive e-forum and resource for the latest ideas, positions, documents, comments, and developments on both sides of the debate.  This website is a timely entry into this arena, considering the fact that Congress is in the midst of considering a rewrite of our national telecom laws.  “Net neutrality” is a contentious issue that is often misunderstood during this debate.  NetCompetition.org will help provide facts to guide policymakers as they consider this important issue. NetCompetition.org is based on the belief that market-based competition benefits consumers more than government-managed competition, that consumers should retain their freedom to choose among different broadband services and technologies, and that the marketplace is more effective than regulation in promoting efficient use of bandwidth and maximizing value to consumers. Over the coming months, NetCompetition.org will be releasing more information on its website discussing “net neutrality” and how this concept could affect the future of the Internet.
