Question: SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The People's Liberation Army is the principal 
        instrument of repression within the People's Republic of China, 
        responsible for occupying Tibet since 1950, massacring hundreds 
        of students and demonstrators for democracy in Tiananmen Square 
        on June 4, 1989, and running the Laogai (``reform through 
        labor'') slave labor camps.
            (2) The People's Liberation Army is engaged in a massive 
        military buildup, which has involved a doubling since 1992 of 
        announced official figures for military spending by the 
        People's Republic of China.
            (3) The People's Liberation Army is engaging in a major 
        ballistic missile modernization program which could undermine 
        peace and stability in East Asia, including 2 new 
        intercontinental missile programs, 1 submarine-launched missile 
        program, a new class of compact but long-range cruise missiles, 
        and an upgrading of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles.
            (4) The People's Liberation Army is working to coproduce 
        the SU-27 fighter with Russia, and is in the process of 
        purchasing several substantial weapons systems from Russia, 
        including the 633 model of the Kilo-class submarine and the SS-
        N-22 Sunburn missile system specifically designed to 
        incapacitate United States aircraft carriers and Aegis 
        cruisers.
            (5) The People's Liberation Army has carried out acts of 
        aggression in the South China Sea, including the February 1995 
        seizure of the Mischief Reef in the Spratley Islands, which is 
        claimed by the Philippines.
            (6) In July 1995 and in March 1996, the People's Liberation 
        Army conducted missile tests to intimidate Taiwan when Taiwan 
        held historic free elections, and those tests effectively 
        blockaded Taiwan's 2 principal ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung.
            (7) The People's Liberation Army has contributed to the 
        proliferation of technologies relevant to the refinement of 
        weapons-grade nuclear material, including transferring ring 
        magnets to Pakistan.
            (8) The People's Liberation Army and associated defense 
        companies have provided ballistic missile components, cruise 
        missiles, and chemical weapons ingredients to Iran, a country 
        that the executive branch has repeatedly reported to Congress 
        is the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.
            (9) In May 1996, United States authorities caught the 
        People's Liberation Army enterprise Poly Technologies and the 
        civilian defense industrial company Norinco attempting to 
        smuggle 2,000 AK-47s into Oakland, California, and offering to 
        sell urban gangs shoulder-held missile launchers capable of 
        ``taking out a 747'' (which the affidavit of the United States 
        Customs Service of May 21, 1996, indicated that the 
        representative of Poly Technologies and Norinco claimed), and 
        Communist Chinese authorities punished only 4 low-level arms 
        merchants by sentencing them on May 17, 1997, to brief prison 
        terms.
            (10) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failure to meet the standards of 
        the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on 
        intellectual property rights by running factories which pirate 
        videos, compact discs, and computer software that are products 
        of the United States.
            (11) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failing to meet the standards of 
        the February 1997 Memorandum of Understanding with the United 
        States on textiles by operating enterprises engaged in the 
        transshipment of textile products to the United States through 
        third countries.
            (12) The estimated $2 billion to $3 billion in annual 
        earnings of People's Liberation Army enterprises subsidize the 
        expansion and activities of the People's Liberation Army 
        described in this subsection.
            (13) The commercial activities of the People's Liberation 
        Army are frequently conducted on noncommercial terms, or for 
        noncommercial purposes such as military or foreign policy 
        considerations.

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 
2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 
        the Internet has grown robustly. Today, Americans are changing 
        how they access the Internet, moving from dial-up to broadband 
        for their home connections. According to the Pew Internet and 
        American Life Project, 72 percent of Americans use the Internet 
        and 59 percent of Americans with home Internet have a high-
        speed Internet connection.
            (2) Americans use the Internet for many daily activities. 
        Over 17 percent of Americans have sold something over the 
        Internet. Everyday, approximately 60,000,000 Americans use 
        search engines to get access to information. 80 percent of 
        Americans have looked online for health care information. In 
        growing numbers, Americans are using the Internet to place 
        phone calls, watch their favorite televisions shows or movies, 
        and play games.
            (3) The growth of the Internet and its success are due in 
        large part to the freedom that has always existed on the 
        content and applications layer of the Internet. Innovation has 
        thrived on this layer, as anyone with a good idea has the 
        ability to access consumers. The continuation of this freedom 
        is essential for future innovation.
            (4) Freedom on the content and applications layer has also 
        led to robust competition for retail goods for consumers. 
        Consumers can shop at thousands upon thousands of retailers 
        from their home computers, including small businesses located 
        miles away in other towns, States, and even countries.
            (5) Such freedom is leading to the development of important 
        new entertainment offerings, on-demand video and movie 
        purchases, Internet Protocol television, and enhanced gaming 
        options. The entertainment options available in the future will 
        only be limited by the bandwidth that can be used and the 
        innovation of people all over the world.
            (6) Despite the growth of the Internet and increased access 
        to the Internet for Americans, there is very little choice in 
        who provides them high-speed Internet access. According to an 
        April 2005 White Paper by Harold Feld and Gregory Rose, et. 
        al., entitled, ``Connecting the Public: The Truth About 
        Municipal Broadband'' only 2 percent of Americans get high-
        speed Internet access from someone other than their local phone 
        company or cable provider. According to the Federal 
        Communications Commission, approximately 20 percent of 
        Americans do not have a high-speed Internet access provider 
        that offers them service.
            (7) As more and more Americans get high-speed access to the 
        Internet without having much choice of who their provider will 
        be, it is important that Congress protect the freedom on the 
        Internet to ensure its continued success.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act, the following definitions shall apply:
            (1) Application or service.--The term ``application or 
        service'' means any information or service--

Answer:
Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 2006 - Prohibits a network operator (an entity that owns, controls, or resells any facility that provides communications services to subscribers) from, among other things: (1) interfering with any bits, content, application, or service transmitted over the operator's network; (2) discriminating in allocating bandwidth and transmitting content, applications, or services to or from a subscriber; or (3) assessing a charge to any application or service provider not on the operator's network for the delivery of traffic to any subscriber to the operator's network. Preserves authority of network operators to: (1) protect subscribers from adware, viruses, spam, content deemed inappropriate for minors, and other applications or service that harms the Internet experience of subscribers; and (2) support an application or service intended to prevent such adware, viruses, content, etc.

Allows an aggrieved party to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with respect to alleged network operator violations of such requirements. Provides deadlines with respect to complaint consideration and rulings.
