Coalition Sounds Off on Net Neutrality Legislation

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the go-down-swinging dept.

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."

    To get people really interested, you have to take an approach like the Kill the Internet coalition.

    Clippy says I should bend your poor old mother over like a ripe Cantaloupe and fuck here till she stops screaming.

    Then I think I'll make "love holes" in her, and just go to town for the sake of having a good time.

    But does that f**king anime smile piss him off as much as it pisses off most people -- except your fan-boys, of course?

    And what was with Thursday? Did you decide to take a day off from work and flood Slashdot with your inane spam postings? As expected, your fan-boys modded you up on most of your posts, just like good little, mindless zombies are supposed to do.

    I'm not sure which is more bizarre. The fact that you think that your postings are of such value or the fact that others apparently do.
