(click the image for the video)  I happened across a slew of information the other day that discussed net neutrality, and thought I would share it. The video attached here is a pretty good call to arms, and a lite explanation of the issue at hand. Basically it boils down to a loss of freedom on the net, echoing all the other modern forms of communication from the press to radio and television. We simply cannot let this happen people. Imagine a world where its so expansive to create content and get it online that only corporation can afford to do it. And then for those of you old enough, remember a world without the internet. Where all we had was the one way reception of information. Programming has a pretty deep meaning in this context.

So check out the video, and then have a look at Lawernce Lessig’s blog, where you can find deeper explanations of the spectrum wars. For addition angles, find Craig Baldwin’s “Spectres of the Spectrum”, released in 1999 it chronicles the history of the electromagnetic spectrum by looking back from the near future of 2007. Fabulous movie and it alone should be enough for you to get excited about the issues at hand.

and as always, Save the Internet
