More Net Neutrality Front Groups

Back in March, Common Cause [1] released "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing [2]," which detailed the activities of nine groups masquerading as think tanks [3] and public interest organizations when in fact they were front groups [4] for telephone and cable companies in the net neutrality [5] debate. Now they've added another five groups to the list: "For example, Hands off the Internet [6] sounds like activists wanting to protect the Internet. Actually, it's a telecommunications industry-backed organization that was spending $20,000 a day on television commercials aimed at eliminating long-standing net neutrality protections so that telephone and cable companies can maximize profit and minimize competition on the Internet."
