If you want to read the original bill (HR 5252) it's at:
<http://www.benton.org/benton_files/HR%205252%20COPE_0.pdf>

It's basically an end run on net neutrality by telecom carriers looking 
for what is effectively a subsidy through ending net neutrality. The 
bottom line is that they want it "to underwrite expansion of their 
capital infrastructure in the form of physical networks." That, at a 
time when even industry publications like Network World say there is a 
glut of capacity.   IMHO, that's the real agenda, these carriers built 
too much capacity, they have lots of it after a round of mergers, and 
now they want Congress to effectively tax all of us to pay for their 
poor business choices. Sadly, that tax will also limit free and open 
commentary on the net.  

Please sign this petition letting your member of Congress know you 
support preserving Internet freedom. Click here:
