Surfing around in the astroturfy anti net neutrality website advertised on a lot of blogs here, I noticed this:
"Legislation should be free of so-called "network neutrality" provisions. We strongly urge Congress to continue the "hands off" approach to Internet regulation that has allowed the Internet to flourish for over a decade. A network neutrality provision would start down the dangerous path to Internet regulation and taxation. Further, network neutrality regulation seeks to address a problem that does not currently exist, as providers have a very real market incentive not to drive customers elsewhere by blocking or slowing down popular content."
Americans for Tax Reform and The Media Freedom Project letter to Chairman Joe Barton, dated March 16, 2006, signed by Grover Norquist, President, ATR, and Tom Readmond, Executive Director, MFP
Yes, that Grover Norquist. (Now why would good old Grover be interested in pressing for giant corporations to be allowed to control the flow of info through the internet?)
For the case made by the heroes, go here.
