Congress tries to establish net neutrality by Lechuan Zhou, Mar 5, 2008 (1:51pm)
Supporters of the bill argue that creating US policy to encourage net neutrality will prevent discrimination and favoritism from Internet service providers. Opponents object to what they consider to be government regulation of the Internet. Some neutral parties point out that the bill is only establishing policy and an investigative commission, not laying down actual enforceable rules. Thus it is not fully accomplishing either goal.
