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