            <title>Reax To FTC Broadband Report</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.FTC.gov">FTC</a> on Wednesday urged caution on imposing so-called network neutrality regulations designed to prevent high-speed Internet providers from potentially acting as content gatekeepers. A 170-page report states that some proprietary deals and data prioritization could actually benefit consumers. </p>

<p>There are more details in <em>Technology Daily</em>’s PM Edition. But for now, let’s focus on the reactions that flooded our inboxes shortly after the document was released...</p>

<p><strong>Mike McCurry</strong> and <strong>Christopher Wolf</strong>, co-chairs of the Hands Off the Internet coalition, said: “Once again, independent experts have looked at the net neutrality issue and asked, ‘Where’s the beef?  There’s an explosion in broadband deployment in America now, which is creating jobs and making high-speed connections more affordable.”</p>

<p><strong>Kyle McSlarrow</strong>, president and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, said the report “wisely recommends continued cautious monitoring of broadband development in the U.S.” and suggests that policymakers should consider unintended consequences of regulation on broadband services.</p>

<p><strong>Steve Largent</strong>, president of the wireless trade group CTIA, said: “The Internet regulation scheme has forever been built on a hypothetical, ‘what-if’ scenario and today this flimsy theory has met yet another round of cold, hard, real-world facts that render it unworthy of our nation’s attention and resources. The facts about this debate have never been more clear. When it comes to the competitive and innovative broadband marketplace the consumer sits in the driver’s seat.”</p>]]></description>
