Congress and the Internet
This from an action alert sent by freepress.net:
Congress is about to sell out the Internet by letting big phone and cable companies set up toll booths along the information superhighway.All of us should be concerned.
Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending tens of millions in Washington to kill "network neutrality" -- a principle that keeps the Internet open to all.
A bill moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us will be detoured to the "slow lane," clicking furiously and waiting for our favorite sites to download.
