Bush Administration Comes After the Internet

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.
