U.S. Rep Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) just proposed legislation that would prohibit the FCC from exercising their power to allow smaller ISPs to compete with larger in situations where local lawmakers have prohibited it. This comes at a time where the Net Neutrality debate is in full swing and in regards to TN, Chattanooga has municipal owned Internet that is faster and cheaper than anywhere else in the US. This legislation only benefits the Corporate Elite. This segment features Ron Placone and is a summary from the Indie Bohemians Morning Show. http://www.ronplacone.com http://www.facebook.com/IndieBohemiansRFN http://www.ibtimes.com/marsha-blackburn-r-tn-why-one-congresswoman-wants-block-fast-cheap-internet-her-district-1630060#.U8amf0fmWYl.facebook
