ACLU Study Wary of Broadband Providers

An anonymous reader says "The ACLU recently had a study done that suggests that broadband access is a threat to internet freedom. Their study focuses on the control available to broadband providers who don't have to deal with the same level of competition or regulation as ISP providers. The result is the ability to radically control internet access combined with the omnipresent corporate incentive for profit, whatever the cost to free speech."

    As anyone with low capped connections, bad quality of service, and terrible uptimes, broadband must be opened! Cable companies must be forced to share lines, etc etc, or else they will end up owning the end users on the internet.
