TV Creators Warn FCC: Don't Let Internet Become 'Like Cable Television'

The signers include an array of top showrunners, including John Wells, Matthew Weiner and Howard Gordon. They do not explicitly urge the FCC to pursue regulation that would treat the Internet like a utility, but they note that it has worked “like the phone lines.” Their biggest message is that the Internet has opened up new opportunities for content creators, giving them new options after a wave of media consolidation in the past two decades. - Ted Johnson, Variety
