Star Tribune Hot Dish: "Franken sounds Net neutrality alarm at SXSW music festival"
The Star Tribune's Jeremy Herb covered Sen. Franken's speech on net neutrality at South by Southwest on Monday.
Sen. Al Franken brought his mantra of Net neutrality to Austin, Tex., Monday in a speech at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music, film and tech festival.
Franken urged the friendly audience of musicians and digital entrepreneurs to join him protecting the Internet from what he warned would be a corporate takeover if Net neutrality rules were erased.
