Telcos Win in House; Net Neutrality Moves to Senate
Submitted Fri Jun 09 2006 10:00:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)Late last night, the House of Representatives rejected the net neutrality amendment to the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement (COPE) Act 269-152, then approved COPE with majorities of both parties. It's a huge win for telcos, who have liberally lubricated the capital. (How'd your rep vote on the amendment and on the un-amended COPE?)
The Senate is now the last redoubt against telcom toll booths on the Internet.
