Local FOX has Ads for TV Freedom, Urging to call Senate.

[Ioo]

Look, I know that these groups will make you think anything, many are paid for by the very corps that want to pass laws...

So the ad says that the house voted to keep the net the way it is, and to keep it free, and wants us to call the Senate and ask them to do the same... Is this true?

Here is the website they have

1. I don't have much of a problem with this.

It breaks local monopolies that the cable companies have.

2. No, it isn't true. The House voted down 'net neutrality ' .

"The US House of Representatives definitively rejected the concept of Net neutrality on Thursday, dealing a bitter blow to Internet companies like Amazon.com, eBay and Google that had engaged in a last-minute lobbying campaign to support it. By a 269-152 vote that fell largely along party lines, the House Republican leadership mustered enough votes to reject a Democrat-backed amendment that would have enshrined stiff Net neutrality regulations into federal law and prevented broadband providers from treating some Internet sites differently from others."
