Senator Byron Dorgan, of North Dakota intends to pass a bill of Internet neutrality 

The senator and fellow officials believe that internet service providers (ISPs) holder too much power in censoring what online surfers can view or share, when using competitor sites.  President to be Barrack Obama supports the potential move of making information more accessible to online surfers, by passing regulations or standards.  Internet service providers like AT&T will come under more competition from internet content publishers such as Google Inc and Microsoft Corp.  ISPs such as Verizon and Comcast unsurprisingly disagree with these potential regulations, as they believe there needs to be less control by the Government.
