Listen "BlogCast: House Rules? Net Neutrality and IPTV; June 11, 2006 [13:19]"
Episode Synopsis
On Thursday the U.S. House of Representatives voted 269-152 against the
net neutrality amendment, a bill sponsored by Massachusetts Democrat Ed
Markey. A yes vote would have required broadband providers (Telco's,
Cable Companies, etc) to offer the same service speeds to competitors
that they provide to partners. The telcos and cable companies in
particular lobbied heavily inside the beltway and it appears to have
paid off. This was not without some push back - according to CIO.COM at
the last minute several technology and service companies sent a letter
to House members asking for net neutrality support. Among those
companies signing that letter were Microsoft and eBay and Kleiner,
Perkins, Caufield & Byers – a large and influential venture capital
firm.
