UPDATE: Say No to Copyright Filtering in Broadband Stimulus
,----[ Quote ]
| UPDATE: The House and Senate stimulus packages passed without copyright
| filtering language attached, but now the concern is that the language could
| return in the closed-door conference committee that works out the differences
| between the bills. Right now, we need you to contact those conferees and tell
| them to leave out this controversial provision.

US lawmaker injects ISP throttle into Obama rescue package
,----[ Quote ]
| Clearly, a lobbyist whispering in Feinstein's ear has taken Comcast's now
| famous euphemism even further into the realm of nonsense.
|
| According to Public Knowledge, Feinstein's network management amendment did
| not find a home in the stimulus bill that landed on the Senate floor. But
| lobbyists speaking with the Washington DC-based internet watchdog said that
| California's senior Senator is now hoping to insert this language via
| conference committee - a House-Senate pow-wow were bill disputes are
| resolved.
