Network Neutrality, Verizon, and Advocacy Messages

I have to admit that sometimes I feel a little silly when I write about the eroding infrastuctures of civil society and in fact, I often get vague glassy eyed responses when I talk about it to nonprofit organizations that aren't involved in new technology in some way. But I hope this story underscores the importance of these issues, in this case network neutrality: Evidently, nonprofits have to get permission from wireless phone companies before sending advocacy text messages. In this case it's NARAL, but it doesn't matter what the issue is - it's deeply disturbing.
