[Pen-l] "net neutrality," Google, and Obama

["Jim Devine" <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE:
>The [Wall Street JOURNAL] fronts word that Google has approached major Internet service providers with a proposal to give faster access to the company's content on the Web. This is merely the latest example of the way the issue known as network neutrality is losing some of its biggest backers. Only two years ago, some of the biggest companies in the industry, including Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google, seemed determined to protect network neutrality. But now, these companies, along with some prominent Internet scholars, have switched tracks and are working on deals that would provide faster access to their Web sites. President-elect Barack Obama spoke up about defending network neutrality during the campaign, but some of his technology advisers are among those who have changed their view on the issue.<
