A decade later, the 1996 Telecommuncations Act may be revamped [Politech]:
Sen. John Ensign, R-NV, has introduced a pretty wide-ranging (at 72 pages, it better be) bill to revamp the ’96 Telecom Act. It deals with topics such as:
– municipal broadband
– video from Verizon/SBC/etc. rather than cable co’s
– VoIP blocking by ISPs
– Web site blocking by ISPs
– Price regulation of communications servicesI’ve placed the bill text here:

Here’s hoping we don’t have to sue to get his one overturned too.
