Anyone seen any anti-net neutrality campaign-style ads?
I just saw one air during Keith Olbermann. It was replete with dramatic music and "regular consumers," making claims that net neutrality is just a SCAM being perpetrated on the American people by "multi-billion dollar Silicon Valley fat-cats to MAKE YOU PAY...."

I couldn't make this up.

Oh yea, it was sponsored by "Telecommunications and Cable Associations" or something generic-sounding like that...followed immediately with the Cox Communications ad that's a 100% rip-off of the Head-on commercial. :eyes:

2. Time/Warner Cable has been pushing that "lot of gobbledegook"
ad here for at least the last month -- it is such a blatant lie, that claims the exact opposite of the truth, I could hardly believe my ears first time I heard it (I tend to hear commercials, rather than see them).

Before I first heard it I was seriously considering switching from my phone DSL to Roadrunner, and dumping Bellsouth altogether. Now, I'm letting it ride. (Not that Bellsouth is so much better, corporately.)

3. Send this in to Fact Check.org. Haven't seen one myself.

4. Keep contacting Congress ...
...to say you want Net Neutrality.

Hopefully, the new Senate will add it to the Telecommunications Bill, and it will be in both versions after the Conference Committee.
