In Boston: A Shot Heard 'Round the Internet

[Commentary] Something may have been lost in this week's brief media frenzy over "seat-gate" -- the much discussed incident where Comcast hired people off the street to keep out the public from Monday's FCC hearing in Boston. But while Comcast's seat-warmers slept, a collection of Cambridge scholars, Internet advocates, industry leaders, engineers and policymakers nearly all agreed that Internet blocking has serious consequences for each and every one of us.

Supporting this bill is a good place to start.
