The point is, it’s going to happen. And once it does, do you think we bloggers and website publishers can do anything about it?

The government should not be wasting its time trying to regulate something that has done well in its absence. It just doesn’t make sense to regulate something that is not a problem.

I’m not fond of Moveon either, but I do not support this issue for many other reasons. Not the least of these reasons being that no one has violvated net neutrality. It just hasn’t happened.

Public Knowledge has a “net neutrality” video (http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/307) which, in just a couple of minutes, graphically explains some of the potential problems we face.

I checked EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation, http://www.eff.org/) to see what they had written about the Net Neutrality issue but didn’t find anything written after the bill (?) was defeated a few days ago. Where’s Al Gore, “inventor of the Internet” when you need him

“you don’t care or you support their chicanery and BS”

That seems like a rather harsh overgeneralization. I do care, but I don’t know much about them so I have no idea what you are referring to by ‘their chicanery and BS’. I don’t understand why you considered it a waste of your time to give an explanation but it wasn’t a waste of your time to complain about them here.

“By a 34-22 vote…”

That sucks about the house vote

JimK, I have no idea why MoveOn is shameful, but I don’t “support their chicanery and BS” – nor do I care if they are for or against your crackpot US legislation. That’s why (duh) I asked for more information. For YOUR information, I’m new to the blogging game, and I certainly know sod all about PAC groups or MoveOn, HENCE I ASKED why they were bad. They WOULD never speak for me, I’m in the UK. Thanks for the info anyway you Â£$$.

Democrats lose House vote on Net neutrality

By a 34-22 vote, members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee rejected a Democratic-backed Net neutrality amendment that also enjoyed support from Internet and software companies including Microsoft, Amazon.com and Google.

It's now more important than ever to influence your congressional representatives! :/
