I don't think that the above letter and subcommittee hearing are
horribly inappropriate things to think about in this discussion. I
only shift the conversation a little bit sideways to point out that
Tor might just be the ultimate form of net neutrality.
Hummm... I am probably not very coherent right now, or making alot of
sense. I will think on this and re post when I have had some sleep.
apologies
