House defeats 'Net neutrality provision
NetworkWorld.com, 06/12/06
IDG News Service's Grant Gross reports that the U.S. House of Representatives has defeated a provision to require U.S. broadband providers to offer the same speed of service to competitors that's available to partners.
The provision's defeat is a major blow to a coalition of online companies and consumer groups.
The 269-152 House vote against the so-called 'Net neutrality amendment came after a last-minute push for the measure from many technology companies. After the House defeated the net neutrality amendment, it passed the underlying bill, a wide-ranging broadband bill focused partly on speeding the rollout of television over IP.
