Abstract

"Capitol Update" piece on federal telecommunications policy that is being rewritten in part by Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, and Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine. The two members of Maine's delegation are pushing for so-called net neutrality, which would keep Internet access affordable. Snowe said without legislation to protect the "openness" of the Internet, telecommunications companies will create barriers by charging fees for such items as assured e-mail delivery.
