Network neutrality — an issue that created a firestorm of controversy on Capitol Hill last year — will be on the congressional agenda again in 2007 thanks to Senators Olympia Snowe and Byron Dorgan. Those legislators filed this week what they’re calling “The Internet Freedom Preservation Act,” which they say will ensure all content, applications and services are treated equally and fairly on the Internet by prohibiting broadband network operators from blocking, degrading or prioritizing service on their networks.
For what it's worth, I wrote a breakdown of the whole "Net Neutrality" thing a couple of months ago. I've got some inside info on the issue and hopefully I've contributed to trying to make sense of this whole thing.
