net neutrality: kick save and a beauty

let's hear it for senator ron wyden (d-or):

ron wyden announced this afternoon that he has placed a "hold" on the telecommunciations legislation just passed by the commerce committee until clear language is included in the legislation that prevents discrimination in internet access.

at least someone is trying to look out for our interests.

and a tip o' the lid to gordon at alternate brain for the link.

(cross-posted at Blanton's and Ashton's, where, if it ain't broke, we break it, then we fix it, then we charge you a lot extra for the repair if we don't like you)

UPDATE: Here's a link that could help clarify remarks made in comments. Also, this is why Senator Wyden's remarks are especially important. And your phone calls. Net Neutrality is balanced on the edge of a razor. Your support for Net Neutrality and for preserving Internet freedom could be the difference.
