"Telecom-industry sponsored propaganda" is not slander, it's simple and literal fact: CATO Sponsors include Comcast, Verizon, SBC, and Time Warner; CATO is opposing so-called regulation in favor of these companies. SaveTheInternet.com could rightly be called propaganda as well, but objectively, which is fairer to internet users: enforcement to protect neutrality, or a scenario such as is illustrated above, where companies "regulate" their customers' internet use for further profit?

Really, Paulo… I think slandering the well respected Cato Institute as “telecom industry-sponsored propaganda” is beneath you.

If I refused to talk about the issue and simply labeled companies and groups like Goolge’s arguments “content industry-sponsored propaganda” there would be no debate.

The Internet has been so wildly successful so far due to the lack of regulation. If it an’t broke, don’t fix it.

Linnwood, it's really funny that your comment, consisting of two links to telecom industry-sponsored propaganda content, was initially marked as "spam." And really, CATO. I mean, ew. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Hands_Off_the_Internet

Food for thought: “Net Neutrality” Digital Discrimination or Regulatory Gamesmanship in Cyberspace? from the Cato Institute. http://www.dontregulate.org/
