Net Neutrality Gains Ground
"This legislation will provide an insurance policy for Internet users against being harmed by broadband network operators abusing their market power to discriminate against content and service providers"
- Rep. Sensenbrenner
Washington, DC - U.S. House committee passes its first bill that specifically outlaws a tiered access system on the Internet.
Supporters of Net neutrality, a policy that would block phone companies from establishing a tiered system on the Internet, won a major victory as the U.S. House Judiciary Committee passed a bill denying the phone companies the right to force Internet firms to pay access tolls.
