Voters Kill Net Neutrality As a Website attorney, I believe political support for Net Neutrality was just killed in the voting booths nationwide. Here’s why… 95 Democrat congressional candidates signed a pledge in favor of Network Neutrality. Of those 95, every single one appears to have lost election/re-election.

Comcast ISP File Sharing Traffic Discrimination – Should the Government Interfere?

Internet Lawyer — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:30:17 +0000

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is investigating charges that Comcast has discriminated against file-sharing traffic on the Internet by restricting the Internet Service Provider’s subscribers sharing of files using peer-to-peer (P2P) and BitTorrent. The issue really should not be about the ability of an ISP to discriminate between users. I’m actually a proponent of multi-tiered [...]

Google, AT&T, And Net Neutrality Update

Internet Lawyer — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 04:10:08 +0000

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission placed network neutrality conditions on AT&T’s acquisition of BellSouth. Using these restrictions as a model, Google is lobbying Congress to pass legislation that provides Internet neutrality with respect to access, thereby preventing ISPs from charging higher rates for priority access to the Net. Hat tip to ContraCostaTimes. Google, AT&T, And [...]
