Senator Stevens is delivered an internet

I wouldn't mind if what he was talking about wasn't crucial to
everyone of us. He was arguing about Network Neutrality. These days,
any company can rent a pipe and do what they want. The telephone
companies want to break that neutrality and charge for every packet
that goes across the internet. In other words, they want a slice of
the action by charging people double: once for renting the network,
then a bill for every call, caller and callee. You may or may not
think this is good thing, but I can see US internet usage being capped
if it happens and the USA is already behind South Korea in broadband
usage.
