Saving the Internet Is Saving Freedom


by Doris Colmes


 


The United States Congress is currently drafting a bill known as “The Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Efficiency Act of 2006,” known as “COPE.” This means privatizing the Internet, by allowing such private corporations as AT&T, BellSouth, Verizon and others to actually own it, and, in the process operate the internet and other digital communications services as private networks. The bill very, very clearly states that “certain classes of Internet providers may – not unreasonably – impair, interfere, restrict or limit applications or services such as Web sites or voice-over IP phone connections.”


 

Perhaps few will know why the above article is true. It may be a good idea to listen to those who do know while they can still be heard.
