I love digg.com

I found this peace of heart ache and ulcer inflicting news through digg.

I a fedral hearing a bill that could give major telco the power and control of the internet is be debated. This bill would give the telco total and comlete control over the internet. allowing the to do as they please, like restricting service and bandwidth.
Vincent Cerf one of the leading contributors to the internet is warning that if this goes though it could cause major problem.

Well there is alot to consider too. I do belive that it would be very hard to say, "Some telco, or telcos"  have total control. Nut the idea is scary.

I would like a chance to read the actual bill

I am betting that this would be unenforcable anyway.
