ABOUT Marvin Ammori

marvin_ammori“Marvin Ammori is an internationally recognised lawyer whose expertise is in Internet and media law, freedom of speech, and cybersecurity law. He has been involved in network neutrality policy debates for many years.

In 2008, as the General Counsel of Free Press, he was the lead lawyer before the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Comcast Corp. v. FCC, which has been called the FCC’s most significant network neutrality decision.

Technology lawyer Gigi Sohn called it the biggest public interest victory for a media rights issue in over two decades. In 2009, he authored a major report on the future of online television, an issue that became central to the Comcast-NBC merger review and prompted merger conditions. His academic scholarship focuses on First Amendment and technology.”
