Net neutrality amendment rejected

The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee rejected a net neutrality amendment last week. Because of this, the amendment will not be added to the broadband bill that will be entering the Senate floor. Senator Olympia Snowe, one of the lawmakers that offered the amendment, predicted that without a net neutrality law, "large broadband companies will block or degrade Web content from competitors."
