Description:
Common carriage regulation gives the government broad discretion over private businesses. Some want to apply the concept to broadband access and social media, while longstanding common carriers, e.g., railroads, face expanding duties. Our panelists will discuss common carriage, the legal limits on its application, including the First Amendment, and when common carriage really benefits the public.
