Update on Proposed Rule Changes To Web

A few weeks ago, I wrote this brief post about how phone and cable companies were backing legislation that would require companies to pay fees to faciliate the faster delivery of their websites and other online services to consumers.

Today, I noticed this snippet buried in an article about an admission by Google co-founder Sergey Brin that Google had compromised its principles in agreeing to accede to Chinese censorship demands:

Brin visited Washington to ask U.S. senators to approve a plan that would prevent telephone and cable companies from collecting premium fees from companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! for faster delivery of their services. Brin, dressed casually in jeans, sneakers and a black sport jacket, said he wasn’t sure whether he changed any lawmakers’ minds.

Seems like the legislation is not so “unnoticed” any more.
