Keep net untrammeled - The Boston Globe:

"Fear of censorship by speed explains why the Gun Owners of America and MoveOn.org are among the many disparate groups that have joined a coalition encouraging Congress to mandate that the Internet remain open to all. Markey, who was unable to get Republicans to include this provision in a telecommunications bill, has filed a separate bill to the same effect.

This controversy over the Internet should not get in the way of a worthy objective of the Republican-backed telecommunications bill, which is to facilitate competition between the telephone companies and the cable industry. The market among content providers must not be sacrificed in the process. Competition is important both in high-speed service and in the content that is available on the Internet. It is essential to protect both."
