Neutrality's other shoe
Neutrality's other shoe: Declan McCullagh at CNET provides the missing context on last weekend's surge of conversation on (US-centric) "network neutrality". Apparently there was a particular House Committee meeting, with 60 votes, that needed swaying. There was also apparently a "34 page bill" at the heart of the issue, which sounds like it might possibly have been readable, had it been linked anywhere within all that evangelism. Key quote: "Net neutrality is 'still not clearly defined,' Barton said. 'It's kind of like pornography: You know it when you see it.'" My efforts last weekend to understand the issue here; my takeaway, after seeing how so many were influenced so strongly with so little: fear.

There is some material on net neutrality on the site of the Progress and Freedom Foundation. Search on keyword 'net neutrality' at http://www.pff.org/issues-pubs/index.html. I have been following the issue but shan't comment as I can't claim to understand the regulatory regime in the US.
