New York City will vote on a resolution urging Congress to pass network neutrality legislation.

City Council member Gale Brewer, a Manhattan Democrat, held a hearing Monday on the resolution, which she introduced. Those testifying in support of the net neutrality resolution include Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, who submitted written comments; Timothy Karr, campaign director for Free Press; Timothy Wu, the Columbia University Law School professor who coined the phrase “net neutrality”; and Henning Schulzrinne, chairman of Columbia’s computer science department.
