Holy Fucking Crap! Dems Joining GOP To Give Internet Away To Monopoly Cartel

And you think you're being gouged by gas prices. Art Brodsky at TPM Cafe: Congress Is Giving Away the Internet, and You Won't Like Who Gets It Matt Stoller at MyDD provides a graphic explanation by Alex Curtis at Public Knowledge. MoveOn explains Network Neutrality in pointed detail, and why it is imperative to save it. Brodsky says "House Commerce Committee next Wednesday is likely to vote to turn control of the Internet over to AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner and what’s left of the telecommunications industry." And he recalls to mind the "100 years of history of anti-competitive behavior by the phone companies." According to Brodsky, a couple weeks ago, Ed Markey, Rick Boucher, Anna Eshoo and Jay Inslee proposed language in Subcommittee to protect the Internet. But just three other Democrats, and one Republican, voted with them for it. MoveOn has an online petition to preserve Network Neutrality as we know it.
