The Internet is known as the information highway for good reason. Users can log on at will and travel to any site of their choosing. And along the way, they are likely to see more than a few billboards advertising this product or that. But now there's a movement afoot to turn the cyber highway into a toll road. Congress must not allow that to happen.

BOULDER, Colo. -- Even as the debate about Network Neutrality heats up and spawns headline-grabbing rhetorical fury, the man who started it all -- former FCC chairman Michael Powell -- can kick back, relax, and say that his so-called Internet Freedoms are "doing great."

Now is the time to hang up that landline and switch to Internet phone.

It may sound futuristic, but using an Internet phone service is as simple as plugging the phone you have now into an adapter, then plugging that adapter into your broadband network and calling any other phone in the world, even cell phones.

Why, you ask, would anyone do this? Because it's cheap.

Saving money is the key to Internet phone calls. Because Congress doesn't tax the Internet the same way it taxes phone lines, calls over the Internet are cheaper than traditional calls.
