Dave,

Here is a very strange twist on the Open Access debate.

AOL in crosshairs of conservative group

America Online's campaign to open up cable TV networks for its
Internet service has unexpectedly landed it in the same political
camp as the Sierra Club.

The two organizations don't have much in common, but each has
drawn the ire of a former Senator who heads a conservative
Washington lobbying group dubbed Frontiers of Freedom.

The Frontiers group is launching a counteroffensive against AOL's
"open access" campaign next week, with a press conference
scheduled for Monday and a slick anti-AOL Web site already
online.

"AOL is now calling for the heavy hand of government to stifle
competitors and to regulate access to the Internet," the group
writes on its site, soliciting support for the campaign.
