BECAUSE THE NET IS WHERE I GET MY ENTERTAINMENT, THIS REMAINS AN "ENTERTAINMENT ISSUE": The impending net-neutrality fatality moves on to the Senate. See the latest discussion by Art Brodsky at TPMCafe, also linked yesterday re: the telecom ad blitz. Or, to sum up, have a look at this grabber from the San Jose Mercury News:
"The future of the Internet is in the hands of Congress, and Congress is about to mess it up. The choice facing lawmakers is stark: keep the Internet as a decentralized network that no single company controls and where all users and all Web sites are treated equally; or hand control over it to an oligopoly of cable and telephone companies."
It's the same one Brodsky used, but I'm not proud, just busy and fearful that something that ain't broke is about to get a veterinary-style fixin' at the hands of an industry with a demonstrated lack of interest in end-users (beyond acheiving the maximum possible per capita monthly extraction therefrom).
