House panel votes for Net neutrality

2006-05-25 20:03 - Links

By a 20-13 vote Thursday that partially followed party lines, the House Judiciary Committee approved a bill that would require broadband providers to abide by strict Net neutrality principles, meaning that their networks must be operated in a "nondiscriminatory" manner.

This is exciting. It's not law yet, and from what the article says, this vote seems to be for all the wrong reasons. But it's the right way, so I'm happy!
