the Internet evolves (cont.)
Some quotes from this story in today’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
“The current administration has made it clear that the U.S. economy would be best run by a small number of large corporations, whether Verizon or SBC or the biggest players in the recording industry.”
Jim Pickrell, president of Brand X Internet, Inc., the small Internet provider that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against earlier this week. Brand X sought to force the cable and phone industries to open their lines to competitors.

“No one should think that the free internet that we currently enjoy is somehow immune from change or guaranteed to stay free.”
American Civil Liberties Union attorney, Chris Hansen.
