Ah!
And here is where we have the astroturf statements. Network
Neutrality IS NOT regulation of the internet. It is a means of
PRESERVING internet freedom.
This doublespeak is being promoted solely by telcos and their
astroturf organizations. Private individuals have not been concerned
with attacking Net Neutrality. However astroturf organizations have
been able to mis-represent Net Neutrality as government regulation.
It is not. The ONLY people who benefit from NOT having Net Neutrality
are the telcos and the cablecos. Private individuals and most
business BENEFIT from having Net Neutrality.

Ruben,
I do not work for Time Warner. And honest, the bill introduced
to regulate the Internet was not introduced or sponsored by cable
interests. Research this bill as a good starting point:
“The Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 2006,” by Sen. Ron Wyden
(D-OR).

I know enough about you. Your trying to hurt my children and
make them
slaves to Time Warner's agenda on what they are and are not
allowed to
read.
As to regulating the Internet, it is the so-called
"Net-Neutrality" advocates who are pushing to regulate it
That would be Time Warner trying to regulate it.
and have even introduced a bill in Congress to attempt to tell
private companies
The internet is not private property and if Time Warner et al
hopes to
remain a player in providing common carriage, they had best get
behind
the publics demand for common access or they WILL be replaced as
cable
access providers.
how they should handle traffic on their own networks!
Its not their network.
But if they care to remain a common carrier to the public
internet, they
had better shape up or we will replace them with someone who does
provide common carrier access....Google, Covad or IBM for example
might
be interested in replacing Dolan et al.
