Today's observation and some questions re Net Neutrality

We at BlueWave have been looking at our media for about a year now and one thing is clear. There is no absolute repository of truth- some outlets are better than others. In order to come up with the truth, one has to be willing to look at a lot of sources. For all of the damage that has been done by the 1996 Telecommunications Act (where one player can now own so much more - controling or distorting information) and the the demise of the Fairness Doctrine (where opposing viewpoints were required) we have consoled ourselves with the emergence of differing voices on the web. Well fasten your seatbelts because the free exchange of information is in serious danger. Please read the following editorial from the times yesterday and you begin to understand. I have a question, can someone find out what the legislation is that Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden (see article below) is intending to introduce to protect Net neutrality and is there anything like it in the works in NJ.

Some of you may notice addition links to the right - if you have favorites that you would like to see posted, please send them to me.

Also, does anyone know of any journalists for the Ledger or any other Jersey paper who might be covering the emerging cable issue in our state?
