More on Net Neutrality
Again via David, there's another campaign to get Congress to protect the net: Don't Mess With The Net. They have a blog to keep you up-to-date on developments and campaign efforts, the obligatory letter to Congress, and if you have a blog yourself you can join their list of supporters.
Further update: I couldn't find the text of the COPE act because it's still in commitee; in comments below, Ralf points to the Benton Foundation; they have their own summary and what seems to be a pdf of the bill (scroll to bottom of page). I don't know anything about the Benton Foundation, so caveat lector.

Some interesting Benton reading:
http://www.benton.org/index.php?q=about/history
Founded from funds of an interesting character after his death in 1973, based on his will.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Benton
Politically active as well as strongly focused on knowledge culture.

He seems to have been quite a threat to the cancer stick money makers.

Probably good timing to get out of the Encyc Brit game when they did. Hats off to them for that decision.
