US Net Neutrality Upheld!

[William Drake]

Hi

One of the judges was Sri Srinivasan, who was in the short list of three for the Supreme Court post the Republicans won’t hold hearings on.  I’m guessing we’ll hear more of him…

ABC’s very neutral coverage consists of telephone companies, Chris Yoo and Berin Szoka saying it’s just awful; apparently no other talking heads were available to this disinterested guardian of the public trust http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/court-upholds-net-neutrality-rules-internet-access-39844225

There was great rejoicing when Net Neutrality was passed the US Federal Communications Commission. There will be great rejoining today now that its major challenges have been set aside (although further challenges may follow).
