You may be right but I find this funny from someone using yahoo mail, which will be one of the first casualties of a closed internet.

RE: [nycwireless] Fwd: A better idea for Net neutrality
Rob, If you can post policy positions from one point of view, why can't you tolerate me posting a position from another point of view? PFF is a legitimate organization. Instead you imply it is disingenuous. Why? Check out PFF's web site and they are quite up front about their positions and their constituency. Anyone who understands how business works realizes that the positions they espouse make good sense.

Re: [nycwireless] Fwd: A better idea for Net neutrality
Jim, You are correct. They are upfront about their constituency. Where the problem lies is in their insistence that they are representing the public. They are not. They are representing the people who fund them. In that respect, they are an illegitimate organization. The misrepresentation of the people they claim to represent makes them illegitimate. And as for them making good sense, perhaps they do, if you are a large private organization trying to monopolize a marketplace. To many others, including most of the informed and uninformed public, they practice religious free market worship.
