From Drew Clark in this afternoon's Tech Daily (sub required):
Advocates of telecommunications legislation favored by Bell telephone firms acknowledged Thursday that the tie vote on a network neutrality amendment means they face an uphill battle in congressional passage of their measure this year...
... "I think we just reached the high-water mark," said another industry source, pegging chances of bill passage at less than 20 percent. Sens. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Tom Carper, D-Del, "are all saying they are going to stop the bill. You have Specter who has already said that he is going to take this bill up."
Will 2007 be the year for compromise?
