Net Neutrality Issue Heating Up as Vote Approaches

There are those in favor ( Digital Divideand Aplus.net) and those opposed (Qwest Communicationsand Institute for Liberty), but the issue of Net Neutrality is a complicated one. Should the telephone and cable companies be allowed to offer premium cable service to some internet sites and not others? Is restricting price options a limitation of growth for the telcos? Will it stifle competition among cable providers? Impede profits?

As the telephone industry has been around a long time, regulations are enforced that don’t apply to the relatively new industry of the internet. Check out our earlier story for more background on the issue. Please cast your vote in the new poll, and feel free to add a comment.
