Clinton on Internet Neutrality?

Question

maybe not the biggest issue out there.. but hey.. you never know.

Net Neutrality

Senator Clinton on May 18, 2006 released a statement outlining her intentions to be an original cosponsor of the Dorgan and Snowe amendment to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that protects network neutrality in the United States. The bill aims to protect internet consumers and small businesses from large Internet service providers who would try to block content that favors their competitors. She says that the Internet must continue to use an “open and non-discriminatory framework” so that it may be used as a forum where “views are discussed and debated in an open forum without fear of censorship or reprisal”.

“I support net neutrality... [The Internet] does not decide who can enter its marketplace and it does not pick which views can be heard and which ones silenced. It is the embodiment of the fundamental democratic principles upon which our nation has thrived for hundreds of years.

Good stuff, Pip. But I also have to ask if someone is gonna approach her about Radio. She can't have it both ways. I'll hold my judgment until I can see how she stands on the entire Issue. Good Research, Partner! Top Notch.

Answer 2

I wonder if she would apply this to radio.
