Net Neutrality | Now It Should Be Interesting

U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., is reportedly set to introduce a net neutrality measure in January 2009. While the fate of net neutrality in the law was a hot topic earlier this year, it took a back seat for the Presidential election and the current economic crisis.

Now, the dynamics of a net neutrality law may have shifted. With the backing of President-Elect Obama (as well as a slew of other congressional democrats), there may may be new wind in the sail of the net neutrality advocates.

Add that to the likely departure of Sen. Ted Stevens - who looks like he is going to lose his seat, or get it taken away, or go to jail, or all of the above - there may actually be someone serving as Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee that actually understands what this internet everyone keeps mentioning is all about.

Fast-food Ordering from Facebook

An Ad Age article reports that Pizza Hut will be among the first fast-food chains to allow consumers to order directly from their Facebook page or their iPhone.

This is not too much of a stretch as online ordering has been around for a while now, but being able to do so without having to go to a separate website (at least if your are on Facebook at the time) is convenient.

Maybe if Chipotle (my favorite fast-food establishment) gets on board with this (especially an iPhone app) I will probably get more excited.
