Now that the new AT&T (formerly SBC and BellSouth-two of the
biggest lobbying arms against net neutrality last year) has dropped out of the debate and the Democrats have taken over Congress, many expect a net neutrality bill to pass.
"The
Internet became a robust engine of economic development by enabling anyone with a good idea to connect to consumers and compete on a level playing field," Dorgan said. "The marketplace picked winners
and losers, not some central gatekeeper."
Senators John Kerry (D-MA), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), and Barack Obama (D-IL) are co-sponsoring the latest network neutrality bill.
