Proposed US legislation on Internet neutrality is being hotly debated.
At Salon, there’s an interesting read about the grassroots organizations taking on large telecom companies in the fight for Net neutrality. The Telecom Slayers provides a clear overview of the main concerns with the proposed Internet legislation, as well as a rundown on the organizations and lobbyists working for and against the issue.
A post on the IP & Democracy blog emphasizes the popularity of an independent YouTube video in support of net neutrality mentioned in the article as a change in the locus of political influence. In response to the Salon article, Hands off the Internet, a lobbying group for the telecoms, posted a letter on their blog to refute several claims.
