Moves to extend internet regulation in the US will stifle future web video innovation, it was claimed today.

Scott Cleland, chairman of net neutrality forum NETcompetition.org, urged the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet to promote free-market policies designed to expand high-speed broadband deployment and refrain from Federal or State regulation.

Cleland believes that the future demands on internet capacity from applications including online video and gaming will require a robust, higher-capacity internet that will only develop if the government allows the free market to continue to spur investment and innovation.
