The scum at Comcast MUST PAY!!!! This is how they treat free speech!!!! Come On Boston Get Angry!!!!! Call your Representative and Senator Now!!!!!

Straight from Josh Stern on Facebook: Here's the good news: Comcast was squirming in their seats at yesterday's Cambridge FCC hearing on Internet freedom. All five FCC commissioners were on hand to listen to testimony from elected officials, legal scholars and lobbyists. There was nearly unanimous agreement that Comcast's blocking of Web traffic posed a real threat to the future of the Internet.

The bad news is that not everyone was able to be heard at this important public hearing. More than 100 people who showed up were turned away. Now we know why: Comcast has admitted paying seat-fillers to pack the room
