Elections and Net Neutrality

Filed Under (Net Neutrality, News) by myjaxon on 08-11-2006

So the elections were yesterday.  Did you vote?  I did, although I wasn’t exactly happy with my choices for governor.  Both of the major candidates had things going against them:
Granholm - our economy is improving?  where are all the jobs? 
DeVos - he got rid of jobs, how does that help us?

Anyway, in happier news, it seems that a lot of Net Neutrality supporters won seats in the Senate.  There is even new blood for the Sentae due to this issue.  And since the the Democrats regained control of Congress, that means they get to head up the committees and that puts two pro-net neutrality supports in positions of power for the Energy and Commerce Committee (the panel that oversees phone, cable operators and Internet companies) and the Telecommunications and the Internet Subcommittee.  The only thing we have to worry about now is whether the Lame Ducks try to push it through before they leave in January.
