Barack Obama: On Net Neutrality

Maintaining net neutrality, for those of us that use the internet on a fairly regular basis - for business, blogging etc, is a big deal. It's sometimes referred to as the "First Amendment of the Internet".
So, what is Net Neutrality? Simply put: creating a level playing field on the internet such that data can traverse networks transparently without regard for where data is sent from or heading to or the actual content.
To drive this home, here's a (more simplified!) definition and couple of examples from democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, while on MTV:



While on Candidates@Google, Obama had this to say on the subject and open internet:



To be fair: I checked Hillary's website for any mention on net neutrality and open internet and didn't find any specifics from her Innovation agenda. Let me know if i missed something!
Another aside: I really think this guy is brilliant, and as it stands, has a good chance at leading this nation. He has some great ideas on Technology and Innovation.
