John Mello has an article in TechNewsWorld on the Snowe-Dorgan Net neutrality bill. I only had one Aaarrrggghhh moment reading it, which is unusual for Net neutrality articles: When the spokesperson for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association said he’s against Net neutrality because “We continue to believe that regulation of the Internet is unnecessary and will only stifle the investment, innovation and creativity that has been the hallmark of today’s dynamic broadband marketplace.”

Net neutrality is not about regulating the Internet. It’s about regulating the carriers. We shouldn’t let the anti-Net neutrality folks get away with this particular semantic fiddle.
