Franken on Net Neutrality

I missed the Future of Music Policy Summit this year, but Senator Al Franken gave a keynote address that summarizes concisely the key concerns about the need for net neutrality, framed in terms of a First Amendment free speech concern and secondly about creating entrepeneurial opportunities (rather than enabling and entrenching incumbents.) Al Franken Keynote Address to Future of Music Policy Summit 2009, “The stifling of openness on the Internet isn’t always about censorship. In the future, it could simply be a product of business at work – of ISPs turning a profit.”
