Defending the Open Internet

"Andrew McLaughlin, chief executive of Digg, a news collection site, said he was worried that if big companies were allowed to buy priority service on the Internet, "it will be harder for two guys in a garage with a great idea to innovate and get their ideas out and compete."

McLaughlin was an adviser to President Barack Obama on these issues from his election in November 2008 through 2010. McLaughlin's words echoed comments made by the president in February 2010 in an interview on YouTube."
