Heed Tom's words, get educated, and please let your senators know how you feel! Those of us living in the bay area can usually count on our representatives to be pro-sensible-internet-policy. It would help if Arizona's senators also knew that their constituents care. Keep in mind that "abil

Dear Fellow JUG members, As technologists, we often have the luxury of avoiding political issues. Unfortunately, however, one of the founding principles of the Internet, Network Neutrality, is currently under seige by lawmakers. Big telecomm and ISP companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast are s
