Maryland Should Not Adopt a Net Neutrality Law

Today there is a hearing in the Maryland General Assembly on SB 287, a bill which would impose net neutrality mandates on Internet service providers doing business with the state. The hearing is before the Senate Committee on Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs. The prepared testimony of FSF President Randolph May and Research Fellow Michael Horney is here. The testimony explains why the adoption of this Maryland law is problematical as a matter of law and policy.
