[BACKGROUND: A group of leading broadband and high-tech companies joined Adjunct Professor Dale Hatfield of the University of Colorado at Boulder today in announcing initial plans for a voluntary Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group (BITAG or TAG). The BITAG announcement can be found online.]
“Today’s announcement is an important and encouraging recognition that all companies participating in the Internet ecosystem should come together with a common purpose – to continue providing consumers with a great Internet experience. The Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group (BITAG) creates a strong foundation for an inter-industry forum to allow technical and engineering experts to discuss technical issues and best practices related to matters that affect the consumer broadband Internet experience. We congratulate all of the companies and Dale Hatfield for the work they’ve done so far, and look forward to learning more about and supporting the BITAG as it is developed further.”
