Cable group turns net neutrality around over ISP access fees
,----[ Quote ]
| Small cable operators say they worried about content providers charging
| ISPs "discriminatory" access fees, which they say Disney does with
| ESPN360.com. They want the FCC to stop the practice before it spreads,
| turning the arguments about net neutrality in the other direction.

Kevin Martin Opposes Regulating Internet Content?
,----[ Quote ]
| A significant part of FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's legacy will be the moves he
| made -- and tried to make -- to crack down on indecency while he was in
| power. The FCC went after TV broadcasters with much more vigor than under
| previous leaders, trying to impose big fines for "indecent" content, many of
| which got smacked down later by courts. Martin himself was a major advocate
| of a la carte cable plans, in which consumers could simply pay for individual
| channels, rather than bundles.

WSJ Accuses Google of Abandoning Net Neutrality: Reality Check
,----[ Quote ]
| The Wall Street Journal specifically attacks Google's OpenEdge project as a
| means by which Google can have its own content given bandwidth priority over
| other web sites. Before we go into a terrified panic that Google is
| abandoning Net neutrality for its own nefarious purposes, how about we look
| at what OpenEdge actually does.

Indian Court Wants To Ban Google Earth In The Wake Of Mumbai Attacks
,----[ Quote ]
| However, an Indian Court is now calling for the software to be banned saying
| that it "aids terrorists." Of course, so do maps or photographs of hotels,
| such as those placed online by the hotels themselves, but people aren't
| overreacting and calling for a ban of those things as well. Yes, we can
| understand the kneejerk reaction here, and the anger over these horrific
| attacks. But, banning Google Earth isn't the answer.
