Coalition Sounds Off on Net Neutrality Legislation

DarqFallen writes to tell us that lately everyone has been talking about a tiered internet, though it seems there are other problems on the horizon as well. PCMag has the latest sound-off from the new SavetheInternet.com coalition. From the article: "Vint Cerf, so-called 'father' of the Internet, is among the big names and organizations that have come together to create the SavetheInternet.com Coalition, which hosted a national conference call [yesterday]. [...] [yesterday's] conference call is one of the coalition's many campaign tactics to emphasize the importance of 'Net neutrality,' the concept of a free and open Internet." The main topic of conversation was the latest bill from congress, the "Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancements Act of 2006."

    I try to meta-moderate as much as possible. I mark all positive mods "fair" and all negative mods "unfair".

    I don't think there's a need for negative mods. But maybe it was put in place to take care of something that it has so successfully taken care of, that I can't see the need.
