Kudos to AP for straightforward coverage of FTC Chairman's comments on net neutrality

While I have been critical of the AP's coverage of net neutrality issues when I believe it was warranted, to be fair I have to acknowledge and highlight AP coverage of net neutrality that's straightforward and fair.

• Today, the AP reported: "Agency Urges Caution on Net Neutrality"  

  • "Federal Trade Commission Chairman "Deborah Platt Majoras said policymakers should proceed cautiously on the issue of "net neutrality," which is the notion that all online traffic should be treated equally by Internet service providers... In separate remarks before a lawyers' group Wednesday, Majoras said the agency was unaware of any market failure or consumer harm in the high-speed Internet market, according to a written copy of her speech.""

The AP is a fine and widely respected news organization that best serves its readers and reputation when it fulfills its mission.

• "AP's mission is to be the essential global news network, providing distinctive news services of the highest quality, reliability and objectivity with reports that are accurate, balanced and informed."
