net neutrality

Cause I think you should, unless 1) You don't believe that net neutrality is in danger of disappearing 2) You don't believe losing net neutrality affects you at all

I wrote this up while the NN debates were going around so now that it is quieter on that (with some legislation passed) I figured I would post it here to see what you guys think. I was surprised something like this hasn't been posted here before, but I've thought a lot about this topic in the...

No, wait. "saves". Obama saves the internet. I'm sure this is horrible for some reason.

A friend of mine brought this petition to my attention. I worry I jumped the gun by signing it, but it seems important enough, given that it's the Friggin' FCC trying to put an end to Net Neutrality. It's met only a quarter of its 100,000 signature goal. Here it is, for those who care.

What do you think of the proposed FCC rules? If they kill net neutrality, then things are looking bad indeed.

OK, so the courts say the FCC cannot demand that ISPs remain neutral with respect to classes of traffic, opening the door to things like Verizon cable keeping you from even finding WOW cable's web site. And I think we can all agree that for the consumer, that's not the best. So, how to deal...

In response to the FCC's rule insuring Internet neutrality, i.e. that content cannot be controlled by IPC's, those who champion corporate rights over human rights have sponsored a joint resolution of disapproval that would reverse the FCC's ruling. There is a list of senators at...

Hello all, I'm having one of those brain-farts where you just can't get your head around something. Hi my name is James and I've never really properly understood Net-Neutrality. THERE. I said it. Can someone please tell me what it means? I know that there is some talk about limiting or...

I'm not sure which direction to take this thread. It started with this thread: Chamber of Commerce Linked To Smear Firms. From the Think Progress link in the OP, I went to another site: Data intelligence firms proposed a systematic attack against WikiLeaks, and from there to Anonymous retaliates...

Is there a way to create a decentralized "Internet" system that could be resilient towards any form of censorship (either from industry or governments?) I've ran into two projects making this claim, but I don't know enough about the technical details to know if what they're claiming is at all...

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/29/netflix-partner-says-comcast-toll-threatens-online-video-delivery/ Ok, so maybe Netflix can afford to pay this fee, but can any smaller website owners? If not, then your innovative, original website is put at an immediate disadvantage against...

...and if so, what do think Network Neutrality is and why do you oppose it?

So, Glenn Beck is (no surprise) coming out for the side of the ISPs. His argument, however, is completely made up of paranoid delusions about Satanic worship and censorship. Here is the theory behind net neutrality: Once you establish a website, the speed with which users can access your site...

OK. I went to Lollapalloza this weekend to see my favorite band Pearl Jam. Details here from the live music thread in Arts section of this forum. As many know they are a politically charged band. Their show was playing live on the net in a blue room performance, but AT&T censored out all of...

Here (warning: Flash video). Apparently, Net Neutrality is a way for those nasty Silicon Valley companies to leech money from hapless consumers, like Colorful vampires. Not that they are targeting any specific companies or anything.
