The principle of net neutrality is one that all BC members should ask Congress to provide for in any legislation they are considering, unless of course, they support an oligarchical internet.

I'm going to have trouble appreciating the US government deciding on behalf of all other nations what the Internet Users Bill of Rights is.
Sounds more economically driven, ie: FFC policing/budgeting on the rise. Election year constituant pleasing also comes to mind. What can the US do to govern the world? Why? Perhaps they simply intend to enforce laws regarding limited matters such as interstate commerce, copyright infringement of US citizens, tax evasion issues, Moral Majority issues, and continue to attempt to track terrorism website actions & communication? Its more likely a braoder-base approach that will involve decades of Supreme Court interpretation though. Industrial/defense/politally driven spying, manipulation & disinformational confusion coupled with age-old smokescreen diversions akin to blaming computers and/or something attached for the problems it needs more money from taxes to combat unfortunately turns the headline's words to glowing neon in my mind's eye.
