"Net Neutrality" bill is introduced into U.S. House and a snappy movie to boot

Use the Internet to save the Internet. On my sabbatical, I'll be doing research on the life of Harry Skornia, a media reform pioneer, and in the meantime, I've sent this to my elected representatives. The trouble is, I live in the bluest of the blue part of a blue state, and my rep is already for Net Neutrality. Can you say the same about your rep?


A new bill has been introduced in U.S. House that would stop Comcast, Verizon and AT&T from controlling what you do, and where you go online.
In 2006, 1.6 million people stopped mighty phone and cable companies from gutting Net Neutrality. In 2007, more than a quarter-million people sent comments to the FCC and opened up cell-phone networks to user choice and innovation.
