[h3]          Astroturf site from telcos' PR company against Net Neutrality         [/h3]There's a site called "HandsOff.org" that seems to be a grass-roots campaign from "a nationwide coalition of Internet users" against Internet regulation. On closer inspection, though it's nothing more than a front for business interests that was set up by a PR company called the [a href="http://www.mercgroup.com/"]Mercury Group[/a]. If you've ever wondered why government seems so far removed from the will of the people, the existence of 'astroturf' campaigns like this go some way to explaining why.
