S 215: Internet Freedom Preservation Act

Here is a bill in Senate trying to protect net neutrality. It was introduced by Sens. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Olympia Snowe of Maine. They have tried to pass this bill in the past and succeeded. "It would ensure that all content, applications and services are equally accessible, prohibiting broadband network operators from blocking, degrading, or prioritizing service on their networks." S 215 would amend the Communications Act. The FCC can enforce fines on businesses that don't follow this bill, if passed. On this site it states that "Under current law they [broadband providers] can select preferred content that would move faster for consumers than other content which would unfairly be slower." This bill has been in the Senate since January 9, 2007. California's own Barbara Boxer is a supporter of this bill. So tell your state's Senator that you want this bill passed!
