Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality



Make the phone calls, this would kill, literally kill blogs like this.

According to The Register Diane Feinstein is trying to add language to the stimulus bill to allow for ISP throttling. Using the 'reasonable network management' euphemism, she tried to attach this to the broadband section. While this has been removed, she still plans to try to put her amendment back in committee. Rep. Waxman is also listed as supporting the amendment.

"This is the most backdoor of all the backdoor ways of doing things," Public Knowledge's Art Brodsky told The Reg. "Conference committees are notorious for being the most opaque of all legislative processes."
