Where do your Senators stand on the Stevens bill?
The bad, bad, bad, bad telecom bill, sponsored by Senator Ted "The Internet is a series of tubes," Stevens, is on track for a full Senate vote before the end of the year. It is bad, bad, bad, bad because
BAD: (a) it fails to support Net Neutrality,
BAD: (b) it fails to include build-out protections for poor and rural neighborhoods
BAD: (c) it doubles the Universal Service contribution (a tax you pay to the phone company)
BAD: (d) it mandates a Broadcast Flag for both video and audio!
You can see where your Senators stand here. You can find out their phone numbers here, so you can tell them what you think about an Internet that discriminates, telcos that discriminate, taxes that go up and application protocols designed by legislators.
