Net neutrality battle still being waged

In today's CNews article, we learn that the debate over keeping the internet free from commercial constraints rages on. On Tuesday, Democrats in the Senate argued for the formation of a law which would prohibit the main players who control broadband from creating a so-called "fast lane". This "fast lane" would be reserved throughout especially set aside for high-paying corporate sponsors and content deliverers. A lot of the debate stems around whether the Federal Communications Commission even has the authority to impose such a rule upon broadband carriers. Arguing against the big broadband carriers were Democratic leaders such as John Kerry, who is one of the supporters of a bill known as the Internet Freedom Preservation Act. It certainly looks to be a long, drawn out debate as the major corporate players and their Republican supporters plan to defend their right to carve up the internet as they please.
