| Freedom of Internet in Danger? FCC commissioner says Internet at risk WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A U.S. federal official warned Friday the Internet is at risk because entrenched interests are positioning themselves to control the network's chokepoints. Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps also warned those entrenched are lobbying the FCC to aid and abet them. Speaking in Washington to the New American Foundation, Copps said the Internet was designed to prevent government or a corporation or anyone else from controlling it. "But this original vision of the Internet may soon be lost," he said. "In its place a warped view that open networks should be replaced by closed networks and that accessibility can be superceded by a new power to discriminate is emerging." He said, "Our ill-advised Internet policy is only one piece of a tectonic shift across the whole range of FCC issues. From media to telecom to the Internet, we appear to be rushing toward breathtaking regulatory alterations." |
