Antitrust Provides a More Reasonable Framework for Net Neutrality Regulation

Yesterday, the Free State Foundation published a new Perspectives from FSF Scholars entitled “Antitrust Provides a More Reasonable Framework for Net Neutrality Regulation” by Joshua Wright, a member of FSF’s Board of Academic Advisors and a former Commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Professor Wright discusses why using antitrust, instead of Title II regulation, would provide sufficient regulatory oversight of broadband providers by examining vertical agreements on a case-by-case basis while also encouraging investment and fostering competition.
