[title] => Public Knowledge President Argues for Increased Competition at Future of Video Hearing
[body] =>
In today’s hearing before the House Committee on Energy
& Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, Public Knowledge
President & CEO Gigi B. Sohn will tell Congress that the future of video distribution
promises to be more competitive and beneficial to consumers--but only if
policymakers act now to make it so.
Sohn will testify that “it’s not a
foregone conclusion that the Internet will disrupt the video marketplace.
Dominant players in the market today have control both over the content their
nascent online competitors need for their service, and over the pipes they must
use to reach consumers. As a result much high-value programming is not
available online, and online video providers have to contend with artificially
low bandwidth caps and other discriminatory practices that keep them from
reaching their full potential.”
Sohn argues that Congress should clear away “outdated rules
that slow down the evolution of the video marketplace,” “extend the successful
policies that allow competitors to access high-value content to certain online
providers,” and “protect Internet openness and prevent discriminatory billing
practices.” By doing these things,
Sohn notes, policymakers “will increase competition, which will mean lower
prices, better services, and more flexibility and control for consumers.”
