Laws of net neutrality & our rights

Originally I got this information from Wikipedia, not the most reliable source, but at least it lists the sources, so I turned to those. Apparently, New York is the only state with net neutrality laws. NYCRR16 Part 605 states that, "Telephone corporations operating as common carriers must provide publicly offered conduit services on demand..." Also, "No telephone corporation operating as a common carrier shall unreasonably restrict lawful network. No restriction may impede access between a content service provider and a willing customer." All other bills on net neutrality that tried to pass were killed by the 109th Congress, such as S 2360, HR 5252, HR 5273, S 2686, and HR 5417 (all from the year 2006). The only bill that is still in discussion is the one I mentioned earlier in the blog, S 215. Wikipedia also mentioned that in February 2004 at the Silicon Flatirons Symposium, FCC Chairman Michael Powell announced the principles of "Network Freedom." These include the freedom to access content, freedom to use applications, freedom to attach personal devices, and freedom to obtain service plan information. In 2005 the FCC adopted a policy statement of these four principles. This is just a general overview of some of the things that Wikipedia brought up. But you have to remember that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone.
