From Ars technica: New network neutrality legislation on its way

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) plans to introduce additional legislation this week that would prevent the likes of AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast from hindering traffic from outside its network and giving its own content preferential treatment. As Sen. Wyden describes it, his legislation would “make sure all information (transmitted over broadband networks) is made available on the same terms so that no bit is better than another one.”

  1. I wouldn’t mark the scoreboard yet lad. Let’s see how this all looks after the Politicans are done with it. Personally I think the term “network neutrality” just doesn’t play well. If they could work freedom in there, an apt concept in this case I think, then it would be downright Patriotic to support it.
