Lately, my first question regarding legislation is "who benefits." That was answered at the end of the article.
Quote:
A CNET News.com report published last week, however, showed that the Internet industry is being outspent in Washington by more than a 3-to-1 margin.
AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner, and Verizon spent $230.9 million on politicians from 1998 until the present, while the three Internet companies plus Amazon.com and eBay spent only a combined $71.2 million. (Those figures include lobbying expenditures, individual contributions, political action committees and soft money.)

My big button is ethics reform. Did you see that worthless piece of crap both houses are calling 'reform'?
