Media Access Project Vice President Parul P. Desai issued the following statement in reaction to the announcement that Comcast and Time Warner are going to conduct an “experiment” of the “TV Everywhere” service:

“These new initiatives raise serious legal and policy questions. Putting content behind a paid wall threatens the wide open model which has made the Internet innovative and diverse. Until now, users have been in control, but the “experiment” announced today appears to limit customer choice. The American public must be attentive whenever choice, innovation and diversity are threatened.”
