U S House of Representatives passes HR 5252 COPE Act June 10, 2006 The United States House of Representatives with a vote of 321 yeas to 101 nays passed the COPE Act, HR 5252, at 10:05 pm, June 8, 2006. Eleven members did not vote. The bill passed without the "Markey of Massachusetts" amendment which would have enforced Internet neutrality. Aggressive lobbying by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth apparently influenced the Representatives. Allegedly, AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth began turning over records of tens of millions of their customers' phone calls to the United States National Security Agency shortly after Sept. 11, 2001 and are being financially compensated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Neutrality | This article is under development.
