Oh, well, thanks for the "state of the industry roundup" there samab. Other than pointing out the mistakes Congress and the FCC should avoid making when this becomes law in this country, this is relevant how?
And, no, network neutrality is not a Google invention. In fact, many people, like myself, who are highly critical of Google, believe strongly in network neutrality.
Let's review: Network Neutrality is the idea that I can access whatever I want over the network and that my ISP can't control that and force me to only get the content they allow me to get -- i.e., the content that makes them the most money, or supports their point of view. Not only does this prevent ISPs from engaging in quasi-legal racketeering, but it's also vital to the health of a democracy that citizens have free access to information.
if your DSL runs slow you can't sue your ISP. if you can't make a 911 call because the network is congested and you keep getting dropped calls than you can sue AT&T.
