From the Internet Freedom Coalition: A problem? On November 19, 2002, the first official warning was issued by "powerful computer and Internet companies" that if Congress did not regulate the Internet, it would fall prey to network providers that would block access to Internet sites, or abuse their market power by slowing online content of competitors to a crawl. Since then, no problem has emerged. Strangely however, with every passing “no-problem” day, the pro-regulation crowd becomes ever more shrill and ever more insistent that if government doesn’t regulate, it will be “the end of the Internet as we know it”! The Net Neutrality Scare Ticker is dedicated to publicizing just how long companies like Google, Yahoo! and eBay have been attempting to frighten America into regulating the Internet with a network neutrality regulatory scheme… and why regulating the Internet is STILL a bad idea!
