This just popped up - BITAG, the Broadband Internet Technical Advisory =20=

"For some time now, we=92ve been advocating for the formation of a group =
=20
of technical experts to put forward their best thinking on how to =20
manage broadband networks in ways that still preserve and promote an =20
open Internet. We=92ve worked closely with Verizon and others in the =20
Internet sector to further develop the concept, and we=92re excited by =20=
today=92s announcement that the Broadband Internet Technical Advisory =20=
Group , or BITAG, has begun the process of formally launching."
