Looking Forward: Net Neutrality

Crowd at State CapitolIt's looking more and more like Net Neutrality will become at least somewhat of an issue in the Michigan Legislature next year.  The Detroit Free Press gave it a ringing endorsement.

A proposed amendment to the Cable Franchise Bil that would have guaranteed Net Neutrality was pulled at the last minute out of concerns that it would have jeopardised the underlying bill.  Several backers of the concept, however, are quietly promissing to revisit the issue when the new Legislature is gavelled to session.

Look for it to be revisited in the New Year.  I won't make any predictions on the outcome of this fight, except to say that it'll be an interesting one.
