Just a quick reminder that mark-up of the telecommunications legislation continues tomorrow in the Senate Commerce Committee.
The Snowe/Dorgan amendment (S. 2917) will probably be taken up either tomorrow afternoon or early Wednesday. This amendment would preserve net neutrality by ensuring that
all content, applications and services are treated equally and fairly on the Internet by prohibiting broadband network operators from blocking, degrading, or prioritizing service on their networks.
The Senators who have committed to supporting S. 2917 are Snowe, Dorgan, Kerry, Boxer, Inouye, and Cantwell. The remainder of Democratic Senators on the Committee are likely votes, and the GOP Senators unknown. The most likely GOP supporters are McCain, Allen, Smith, and Hutchison.
Please call or fax these Senators (those supporting us to say "thanks") and ask them to support the Snowe/Dorgan amendment to preserve net neutrality. Contact information for the entire Commerce Committee below the fold.
