It is not enough that Obama administration is busy expanding government control over health care and energy (cap and trade), it is also trying to take over the Internet. A Washington Post article here noted that White House deputy chief technology officer Andrew McLaughlin equated the Internet censorship in China during Obama’s visit with the network neutrality issue in the US. This FEE article clarifies the “net neutrality” debate.
While network-neutrality advocates claim to want to ensure fairness and
competition, the government regulation they propose will result in
anything but those things. In the free market, competition ensures that
customers receive the services they demand. Government control, by
contrast, ensures that they receive whatever services the politicians
and bureaucrats in power at the time deem appropriate (not to mention
the inevitable and endless litigation about who could offer what
services when and for how much).
