Net Neutrality: Watch What They Do, Not What They Say

It is very difficult to square Mr. Genachowski's statement that the marketplace rather a central public authority, the FCC, should pick winners and losers on the Internet with the realities of his net neutrality proposal, argues Randolph May, president fo the Free State Foundation.

The FCC Chairman has argued that "no central authority, public or private, should have the power to pick which ideas or companies win or lose on the Internet; that's the role of the market and the marketplace of ideas.

Some might argue the FCC's proposals therefore are internally contradictory: it makes the FCC the arbiter. Others obviously will disagree.
