Called "the Internet Neutrality Act" for short, the proposed bill would codify much of the so-called Internet Freedoms, while adding a few twists, including one proviso for making available to users information about the "speed, nature and limitations of their broadband connection," an idea we've batted around here under the rubric transparency.

In an apparent effort to start the debate with a bit of a nod to expected opposition, the bill also contains caveats that do not prevent a network operator from providing exclusive or tiered services, as long as such offerings don't violate any of the "freedoms" principles.

According to the PR firm that sent the email, the draft is expected to be introduced after the upcoming Congressional recess. Guess the net neutrality debate is getting more fuel for the fire!
