Fate of Net Neutrality Has Now Been Passed On to a More Internet-Friendly 110th U.S. Congress
The gavel has fallen on the 109th Congress marking the demise of entrenched corporate efforts to legislate away our Internet freedoms — and a stunning victory for real people who want to retain control of the Internet.More here.
The fate of Net Neutrality has now been passed to what appears to be a more Web-friendly Congress. Our Coalition pledges to work with new Members to craft policies that ensure all Americans can access the Internet and enjoy the unlimited choices it has to offer.
Companies like AT&T, Verizon, BellSouth and Comcast spent more than $150 million to push Congress to gut Net Neutrality.

While we're on the topic of net neutrality, it would be worth mentioning my coalition as well. I work with Hands Off The Internet--our website can be found at http://handsoff.org
Our position is that putting the internet into the hands of the government is far more dangerous than leaving it to the free market. Check out our website for more on our positions.
While I'm happy to give "equal time" to those with differing opinions on the matter, I firmly believe that the "Hand Off the Internet" Coalition is nothing more than a puppet of big telecom business, who does not have the bets interests of the Internet user at heart-- instead, it only caters to bug business.

Hands Off? Try The Mercury Group, who is a Seattle PR firm. Who typically pays PR firms to advance their agendas - grassroots organizations, or industry coalitions?
Fergie, you are far too honorable - if this was my blog, such blog spam would have been immediately deleted.
