And it's official.  The Justice Department is against net neutrality.  Harold Feld gives us context.

"It would seem that the President and the Justice Department cannot do enough for AT&T and the other companies that agreed to spy on the American people.  Without network neutrality, companies are free to turn over user information without a warrant or block users from desired content ­ as AT&T recently did 'accidentally' by blocking Pearl Jam's criticism of the President during a concert performance carried on AT&T's broadband service."

I'm wondering when Chairman Ed Markey is going to do anything about this.  He's the Chair of the Telecom subcommittee.
