[LUNI] Kankakee County Farm Bureau weighs in on net neutrality

[Eric Ellington]

Since the deadline to file comments with the FCC regarding network
neutrality passed some very interesting people submitted comments. One
interesting submitter was the Kankakee County Farm Bureau and others
in Northern Illinois against network neutrality.

I called Chad Miller the manager of the Kankakee Farm Bureau and
explained to him the logic of net neutrality using Craig Newmark's
Pizza Hut web page vs a local pizza web page example. Mr. Miller and I
had a nice conversation and he seemed honestly interested in
understanding more about network neutrality.

I am not sending this email to cause the Kankakee County Farm Bureau,
or others, any problems. I just felt that those who support network
neutrality one way or another on this board should be aware of the
Northern Illinois entities that have decided to weigh in on the topic.
