Berners-Lee: Congress should consider net neutrality by Grant Gross, ITworld.com (3/1/07)

Timothy Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, advocated that the U.S. Congress protect net neutrality and questioned the value of digital rights management Thursday.

Berners-Lee, speaking before the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet in the U.S. House of Representatives, said it was “very, very important” for lawmakers to protect the ability of users to access the Web content they want regardless of their Internet service provider.
