Congress Attacks Our Internet

06.15.2005

A bill just introduced in the House seeks to destroy the dream of universal, affordable Internet access everywhere. “Preserving Innovation in Telecom Act” (H.R. 2726) makes it unlawful for a community to provide any “telecommunications service, information service or cable service." In otherwords, if your community decided to provide free internet access to all citizens, telecom will sue your ass.

"Hands off that Internet, ye peasents!"
