Net Neutrality used to be a big buzz word for a bill before Congress. But that is so last year.

These days, the bill is about internet freedom and it’s a bit different from the previous incarnation. But this one could succeed where the other bill failed - and it stands a good chance of passage.

Here is the video that brought up the issue of AT&T trying to be the net police that might hurt VoIP IP Telephony and Unified Communications due to inherent fact that it will slow down the network, disregarding the other issues that this brings out such as net neutrality. I am on an AT&T network because I have been happy with my services since I joined them in the days of Pacbell, about 20 years ago, and at least 12 years of broadband services.
I think the VoIP News has a very good article on this same issue so I will guide you over there. Here is the infamous movie made by Richard Blakeley, and Joel Johnson of Boing Boing doing the interview.

Now you seen the movie, here is the story at VoIP News.

On Thursday, the SavetheInternet.com Coalition joined legal scholars to take this case to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They filed an official action urging the agency to stop the cable giant from meddling with your ability to connect and share information.
Blocking by Comcast — and related censorship by AT&T and Verizon — gives us a glimpse of a world without Net Neutrality. We’ve filed a legal action against Comcast at the FCC.
In the “most drastic example yet of data discrimination,” the Associated Press exposed that Comcast was actively interfering with its users’ ability to access popular and legal video, photo and music sharing applications.
According to Savetheinternet, Despite mounting evidence that Comcast is crippling peer-to-peer communication, the company’s spokespeople have thumbed their noses at the public and the press — refusing to admit that the blocking of connections is underhanded or in any way threatens the free flow of information that’s become the hallmark of an open Internet.

So your Skype calls or Vonage or your plain old SIP calls might get blocked by these folks next if you do not act now. Visit the SavetheInternet.com Coalition (Internet scholars from Yale, Harvard, and Stanford also joined this protest), and promote net neutrality.
