Network neutrality bites the dust in the House of Representatives

Network neutrality killed again, but cable reform bill lives on
I don’t mind the idea of reforming local control of cable franchises. But we most definately need net neutrality written into law. The House backhanded a net neutrality ammendment 269 votes to 152, then passed the bill 321-101. The telco lobbyists were busy.
The focus now moves to the senate where there may be less support for the telcos agenda. The telcos are not the friend of consumers. Some part of the bill are not bad, but net neutrality needs to be codified into law.
