Arts+Labs' response to Genachowski's net neutrality action
Arts+Labs, a consumer advocacy coalition formed by today's leading technology and creative organizations released the following statement on the FCC's proposed net neutrality rules made during a speech by Julius Genachowski today:
Arts+Labs has long supported the FCC's four principles and is encouraged by FCC Chairman Genachowski's remarks today that any net neutrality principles will be well-crafted to ensure the flexibility of content owners, networks and application providers to improve the consumer's web experience rather than limiting it.
We applaud the Chairman's recognition of the importance of protecting against the unlawful distribution of copyrighted works and are likewise encouraged by his acknowledgement that managed network services can be an important part of an innovative and robust Internet ecosystem.
We look forward to working with the FCC in the months ahead as it crafts new principles that ensure the flexibility of all Internet players to explore new ways of delivering quality legal content to consumers. --Arts+Labs
