Please join us on November 9 from 11:45 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the National Press Club for a timely discussion of the Free State Foundation's new book,
A Reader on Net Neutrality and Restoring Internet Freedom
,
edited by Free State Foundation President Randolph May and FSF Senior Fellow Seth Cooper.
Babette Boliek, the FCC's Chief Economist, and Thomas Johnson, the FCC's General Counsel
, will deliver keynote remarks, and then a panel of experts will discuss the most important, most current, hot-topic legal and policy issues in the ongoing net neutrality controversy.
About the Book
In December 2017, the Federal Communications Commission adopted its landmark
Restoring Internet Freedom Order
repealing the public utility-like regulations which were applied to broadband Internet service providers by the Obama Administration’s FCC. The
Restoring Internet Freedom Order
’s return to a light-touch broadband Internet policy fosters free market competition, promotes innovation and investment, and enhances consumer welfare. Importantly, the FCC’s decision also establishes a regulatory framework that ensures consumers are protected from anticompetitive conduct as well as from unfair and deceptive trade practices.
In the context of offering a defense of the FCC’s
Restoring Internet Freedom Order
,
the book provides a wealth of information and key insights into the long-running debate surrounding “net neutrality” regulation. The selected writings in this
Reader
explore both legal and policy rationales that support the FCC’s December 2017 action, explaining why the FCC’s approach to regulation of broadband Internet services adopted in the
Restoring Internet Freedom Order
should be preserved.
