net neutrality

From Mashable:

AT&T executive James Cicconi, senior vice president of external & legal affairs must not read the news before opening their mouths. The New York Times Bits Blog is reporting this morning that representatives at CES have openly stated today “that they may start filtering Internet content.”

Brilliant move, considering that news just broke yesterday that Comcast could receive FCC fines as high as $1.77 trillion. Obviously, filtering traffic to prevent your users from utilizing certain protocols or services is a form of non-Network Neutral behavior, and AT&T purports to be plodding down the path towards making that a reality for their millions of broadband users.

It's simple, really. We need a proven perspicacious progressive in the United States Senate to talk for Kossacks and, more importantly, Americans. We need United States Representative and fellow Kossack Brad Miller in the United States Senate. And all weekend, Blue South and I have been asking for the small amount of $5.08 to make it happen. If you help make it happen, I swear this will be the last Draft Brad diary for a long time.

After reading MediaGeek's blog post about how his US Representative voted on COPE (Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act) I was inspired to make a list. I'm happy to say that Rep. David Price and Rep. Brad Miller voted against it. It'll be interesting in the future to create a graph on how they voted on all the bills set to protect and destroy Network Neutrality. COPE is one of the bad ones. Incase you were wondering voting ‘Yea’ for COPE is bad.
