No time for commentary on this one, but well worth a read — not just for open source folks, this one’s a concern for everybody. Congress Is Giving Away the Internet, and You Won’t Like Who Gets It:
Congress is going to hand the operation of the Internet over to AT&T, Verizon and Comcast. Democrats are helping. It’s a shame.
Don’t look now, but the 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. It will be one of those stories the MSM writes about as “little noticed†because they haven’t covered it.
Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of detail in the TPMCafe post, check out the post on Internetnews.com as well.
