Net neutrality organization set up

Microsoft, Intel and Google have teamed up with ISPs and others to create a broadband technical group advising on net neutrality and other issues.

The Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group (BITAG or TAG) will be headed by Dale Hatfield, adjunct professor of the University of Colorado at Boulder and a former Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chief technologist.

The group will provide advice and guidance on broadband network management practices for policy makers. The advice will be purely technical, though it will be aimed at minimizing policy disputes.

Specific targets include promoting outreach within the internet technical community, identifying best practices by broadband providers and others and interpreting 'safe harbor' practices.

It will also issue advice to the pulic and policy makers, as well as giving advice on any technical issues underlying disputes.
