b'The Internet has dynamically changed the way we live. It touches every sector of the U.S. and global economies. For two decades, it flourished in an environment devoid of heavy-handed regulatory oversight, resulting in $1.5 trillion in investments by Internet Service Providers. However, the FCC dramatically changed course in 2015 when it reclassified broadband as an old style utility regulated under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934. Earlier this year, the FCC initiated a new proceeding, Restoring Internet Freedom, that proposes to return to the classification of broadband service as a Title I information service. But the legal and policy debate continues with passionate supporters on both sides.Moving forward, how should these tensions be addressed? How should the FCC move forward with its Internet Freedom proceeding? Is there a legislative or regulatory fix? Is there a role for other administrative agencies? Should so called "edge companies" (like Google and Facebook) be regulated differently from Internet Service Providers? Today\'s panel will explore these and other issues.
