Optimistic for Net Neutrality

It looks as if net neutrality is not only being embraced by media watchdogs, but by some of the most powerful guys on Capitol Hill as well. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), the powerful chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is lauded as a "Net Hero" at Save the Internet, as he recently guided the Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 2006 through his committee. Chances are that he had a very direct role in securing Republican votes for the legislation that would prevent large internet providers from giving better service to companies that pay more.
