In addition to taking a leading role in trying to kill the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger, Senator Al Franken is also now leading a campaign to stop the Federal Communications Commission from letting ISPs create Internet “fast lanes” with its latest net neutrality proposal. In a new video posted by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Franken makes his case that the FCC’s controversial plan could hinder future innovation and consumer choice by giving big incumbent companies a permanent competitive advantage over up-and-coming startups.

NP.  We gotta stay up on this stuff.  Staying informed and using our voices is the only way to beat it.

Not alone.  Not by himself.  I think he actually understands what net neutrality is, so yes.  No, but no politician is loved by everyone.  

 

It's a step in the right direction.  That's the bottom line.

Still can't see it. Copy and then paste as plain text that should fix it.
