A Sensible Proposal, LA Times Backs Genachowski's Net Framework
The Los Angeles Times, in a December 2 editorial, endorsed FCC Chairman Genachowski's proposal to protect an open Internet. Calling it a "reasonable approach" to the net neutrality question, the op-ed praised the Genachowski framework bid as a "sensible" compromise.
"The Waxman draft, which was backed by a number of telecommunications and Web-based companies, was designed largely to continue the status quo online: It would have allowed Internet providers to manage their networks within reasonable limits, but not to block legal content, applications or devices."
The CWA and Speed Matters are strong proponents of this proposal, which would protect consumers in an open-Internet framework.
