It was a year ago, this coming Friday, that Senator Barack Obama put up a podcast about Network Neutrality.

It is because the Internet is a neutral platform that I can put out this podcast and transmit it over the Internet without having to go through any corporate media middleman. I can say what I want without censorship or without having to pay a special charge.

But the big telephone and cable companies want to change the Internet as we know it. They say that they want to create high speed lanes on the Internet and strike exclusive contractual agreements with Internet content providers for access to those high speed lanes.

I applaud him for those comments.  However, an entry on techPresident, Did Facebook Play Favorites with Obama? raises some interesting questions.
