Net Neutrality Bill put forward – WooHoo!

This was posted on IP Democracy about a Net neutrality Bill.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) unveiled his net neutrality bill today during a media conference call (MP3 here), outlining the bill’s provisions, which include the following:
– Broadband providers will not be allowed to interfere with, block, degrade, alter, modify or change traffic on the Internet;
