Net neutrality proponents target national broadband debate

Those NN fans last week launched a new campaign, "It's the Internet, Stupid," along with their own letter to the FCC reminding the agency what is at stake.

Is it not worrying that the telcos are openly applauding universal broadband? Does it really sound like a good idea to spend taxpayer dollars to bring them new customers?
