Forwarded from the ALA Washington Office. Roger Lawson, co-chair ARLIS/NA Public Policy Committee ******************************************************************************************************************************** Subject: [District Dispatch] Amendments and hearings and joint resolutions: Net neutrality’s week in review Last week was a rough one for network (net) neutrality supporters, especially in the U.S. House of Representatives. Following the introduction of the President’s 2012 budget request, the House swung into gear offering up a number of budget-reducing amendments, including one from Rep. Walden (R-OR-2) that would bar the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from using any funds to implement its net neutrality order.
