Senators Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) have tag-teamed in the past on the net neutrality issue, and they’re still a formidable bipartisan duo. On Friday, the two senators asked the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee to see if a lack of network neutrality rules were causing problems for Americans in the wake of some widely-publicized PR gaffes by some of the country’s largest telecommunications firms.

From the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON – The Justice Department on Thursday said Internet service providers should be allowed to charge a fee for priority Web traffic. The agency told the Federal Communications Commission, which is reviewing high-speed Internet practices, that it is opposed to “Net neutrality,” the principle that all Internet sites should be equally accessible to any Web user.

I’ve been using Google hosted apps for a little over a year now and love it. All the power of Gmail just with the vanity of your domain name. Some of the features:
- Calendar
- Docs and spreadsheets
- Personalized start page
- Google talk integration
- Pop support
- Mobile access to mail and calendar
There are various enterprise upgrades (at a $50per user per year fee) that can migrate your mail servers, larger mailbox size, resource scheduling and domain integration.
My one gripe is I wish that Google would support IMAP, but that would probably prohibit one of Gmail’s best features, email threading. :-/
