From SlashDot (http://politics.slashdot.org/politics/06/06/08/1647239.shtml):
Google's CEO Eric Schmidt has written an open letter to the Google user community (http://www.google.com/help/netneutrality.html) asking them to speak out on the issue of net neutrality. The official Google Blog has a blurb on this as well. From the letter: 'In the next few days, the House of Representatives is going to vote on a bill that would fundamentally alter the Internet. That bill, and one that may come up for a key vote in the Senate in the next few weeks, would give the big phone and cable companies the power to pick and choose what you will be able to see and do on the Internet ... Creativity, innovation and a free and open marketplace are all at stake in this fight
