"...the legislation in the House (Barton/COPE Act) only protects the business interests of... the Telephone industry while severely trampling the public...

Even worse, communications providers... can offer the new services in a wealthy neighborhood but neglect an adjacent low-income community)." -quoted from www.SaveAccess.org "... we've already seen what happens... when the Internet's gatekeepers get too much control.

And Madison River, a North Carolina ISP, blocked its customers from using any competing Internet phone service." -quoted from www.SavetheInternet.com
