Tech Daily Dose: Ispen on Content Regulation http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2007/02/ispen-on-content-regulation.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2010 Mon, 26 Feb 2007 23:14:18 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Ispen on Content Regulation Content regulation should be approached by policymakers from the perspective of what is good for competition, investment and innovation, Cisco's Laura Ipsen said this afternoon at the Tech Policy Summit. "The problem is one that's political," she said, citing "entrenchment with different industries and incumbents." Ispen, who is the high-tech company's vice president for global policy and government affairs, said she thinks "it's an unnatural fit to apply broadcast rules on networking and Internet technologies."

With respect to the ongoing "network neutrality" debate in Washington, Ipsen said the market is the best barometer for broadband policy rather than "having government measures or indicators of what's working or not working." A successful strategy involves the government enforcing existing laws while ensuring that "they're watching the issue as the industry moves and as we innovate."
