CPAC 2011 - FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell Discusses Net Neutrality

Saturday at CPAC 2011 Federal Communications Commissioner Robert M. McDowell discussed the FCC's December 21 order for government regulation of the internet. Commissioner McDowell began his remarks with a brief history of internet legislation. McDowell points to the Clinton/Gore legislation from 1994 which put control of the internet into private hands "[the internet] became one of the greatest deregulatory success stories of all time...it became a little bit of libertarian heaven in that regard."
