[Air-l] 'Net Neutrality' Laws May be Needed, MUCH BETTER Panel Says

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

It is amazing how media outlets are portaying assent or dissent  
depending on their perspective.  On friday, I was listening to the  
bbc's fictionalization of internet governance in the future.  It was  
fairly enlightening as to the british government perspective, if not  
really the BT's.     The bbc podcast was in their 'go digital' series  
i think.
