FCC Auctioning a Filtered "Free" Internet

Reading this article concerned me heavily.

FCC boss mulls free* wireless for all
* - includes ads and content filters

Sounds like some representatives in the House (Anna Eshoo of California and Christopher Cannon of Utah) introduced a bill under the guise of a "family friendly" internet. The FCC Chairman Martin is hopping-ready to build in a requirement of the auction of this wireless spectrum to force the vendor to implement a content filter.

This one needs to get stopped before it's gets momentum.

You can find another article here from last month related to that bill in the House.
