A Tex. state lawmaker cautioned the PUC that it may be overlooking important e-commerce implications in its current inquiry into Internet network neutrality issues. The PUC, under a 2005 telecom reform law, must conduct a study of whether current state law preserves network neutrality and report its findings by the end of this year. But Woodlands state Rep. Robert Eissler (R) in a letter to the PUC said preliminary drafts of the PUC’s report (Case 32527) indicate it may be paying insufficient attention to how the network neutrality issue affects businesses. He said the legislature is concerned not just with effects on end-users but also on e-commerce, adding that many businesses in his district rely heavily on Internet-enabled applications and broadband services. He also faulted the PUC for not getting more specific information from broadband service providers. The PUC preliminary draft also came in for criticism from the state CLEC trade group Texaltel, which said it doesn’t make specific recommendations for preventing discriminatory network practices. The group suggested the state needs legislation to give the PUC authority to address network neutrality issues as they arise.
