Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Google on Monday reversed its long-held support for pure "net neutrality" and joined Verizon in calling for new laws that would enable Internet providers to favor some Web services over others.

That touched off vehement protests from consumer groups that support network neutrality, the principal of ensuring all people have equal access to all websites.

If the Google-Verizon proposal goes through, it would "kill Internet freedom," says Justin Ruben, director of the advocacy group MoveOn.org.
