Google blog and Google CEO on Net Neutrality
Google blog and Google CEO recommend you contact your congress representative (Dave Reichert for us Bellevue\Redmond, WA folks). They did forget to put in exactly “What to ask?” and instead mentions to “Ask them to protect Net Neutrality”.
The suggestion could have been, please ask them to support the following amendments to bill HR 5252
#20 by Rep. Edward Markey, D-MA
#14 by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-WI
Details on amendments below.

Bellevue, WA
| Markey (MA)/Eshoo (CA)/Boucher (VA)/Inslee (WA) | #20 | Seeks to restore important non-discrimination requirements enforced by the Federal Communications Commission that from the inception of the Internet until August of 2005 were binding on telecommunications carriers. This amendment essentially has 3 parts: (1) provides a policy statement in addition to the general duties of broadband network providers; provides for preserved rights and exceptions to the general statutory duties in the first part; and provides an expedited complaint process and an antitrust savings clause. |
| Sensenbrenner (WI)/Lofgren (CA)/Boucher (VA)/Conyers (MI)/Wilson, Heather (NM) | #14 | Establishes an antitrust remedy under the Clayton Act for anticompetitive and discriminatory practices by broadband service providers. Expressly permits a broadband network provider to take steps to manage the functioning and security of its network, to give priority to emergency communications, and to take steps to prevent violations of Federal and State law, or to comply with a court order. Also allows for an expedited administrative process to resolve complaints alleging violations of new Section 28 of the Clayton Act. Also clarifies that both the FCC and FTC have authority to enforce Section 28 via administrative proceedings and specify which agency has lead jurisdiction over various types of complaints. |
