Google, Facebook, Amazon Create New Lobbying Group

The Internet Association is a group of tech giants: Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Ebay that are sharing resources to lobby in favor of an "open Internet". From the Internet Association Web site:

The Internet Association is dedicated to advancing public policy solutions to strengthen and protect an open, innovative and free Internet.

From the Washington Post Article:

The association is expected to officially launch in September, when it will release its full list of sponsors and members. Its most prominent members are Silicon Valley giants Google, Facebook, eBay and Amazon, according to a person familiar with the group’s plans. Those firms face a slew of regulatory issues that directly affect their businesses: privacy legislation, online sales tax reforms, cybersecurity and proposed anti-piracy and copyright laws.
