Net-Neutrality Update



So to keep everyone updated on the Net-Neatrality issue today we lost the battle for the house. The blog from Save The Internet say it better:

Last night’s House vote against an amendment that would make Net Neutrality enforceable is the result of swarming lobbyists and a multi-million-dollar media campaign by telephone companies that want Congress to hand them control of the Internet.

The fight now moves to the Senate, where there is stronger bi-partisan support for a bill — put forth by Senators Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota) — that would protect our Internet freedom from AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth.

There is more that they say, which you can read here if you would like.

There was a hearing/conference (I'm not sure which one) about this subject this morning. I didn't watch all of it, but I did watch a speech made my the CEO of Earthlink. He did a good job. I hope it made a difference.
