Setting the record straight on Net neutrality and infrastructure investment

,----[ Quote ]
| A new report by the U.S advocacy group Free 
| Press provides clear evidence that, despite 
| the claims of some Internet Serivce 
| Providers, Net neutrality will not harm 
| network investment. On the contrary, the 
| report shows that legal protections in favor 
| of an open Internet will have a positive 
| impact on investment in both the network and 
| applications markets.

Defend the Data Protection Act

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most important and earliest pieces of legislation concerning
| digital information is the Data Protection Act (DPA). Clause 152 of the
| Coroners and Justice Bill, currently before Parliament, would effectively
| nullify the DPA, since it would allow Ministers to use information gathered
| for one purpose for another â one of the things the DPA is there to prevent.
