Net Neutrality Act On the Agenda Again

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday January 30, 2007 @01:27PM from the end-to-end-tubes dept.

blue234 writes "On January 9th, Republican Senator Olympia Snowe and Democrat Byron Dorgan reintroduced the bill popularly known as the Net Neutrality Act, and officially called the Internet Freedom Preservation Act. The bill was killed in the Senate last year in a vote split along party lines (Democrats yea, Republicans no), with the exception of Senator Snowe, who voted with the Democrats. Now that the Democrats have a slight majority in the Senate, the bill certainly has a better chance, but it still needs 60 votes to prevent a Republican filibuster.

Re:Sad news ... Stephen King, dead at 54 by Ninjaesque+One · 2007-01-30 15:27 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Troll Post writer Anonymous Coward was found dead in his parent's basement in Antartica this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will woop with joy - even if you did enjoy his work, there's absolutely denying his contributions to the Slashdot culture. Truly an Armenian scumbag.

(no offense towards Armenians)
