Breaking News: Historic Win for Net Neutrality!

http://SavetheInternet.com
August 1, 2008 -- WASHINGTON -- Today, the Federal Communications Commission voted to punish Comcast, the nation's largest cable company, for blocking users' access to the open Internet. In a landmark decision, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin and Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein approved an "enforcement order" that would require Comcast to stop blocking and publicly disclose its methods for interfering with Internet traffic.

Josh Silver, executive director of Free Press, issued the following statement:

"The FCC's bipartisan decision to punish Comcast is a major victory. Defying every ounce of conventional wisdom in Washington, everyday people have taken on a major corporation and won an historic precedent for an open Internet."

@ghuegel Wrong. By filtering on content as certain vendors already do, innovation is stifled, because your newfangled next-generation protocol may be one which competes with a vendor's own offerings, much as Skype VOIP competes with AT&T and Verizon. Without Net Neutrality, venders who view your app as a competitor can suppress packets by content or destination. With Net Neutrality, they can't do that. They can only enforce bandwidth per their contract with you.
