Net Neutrality - Save The Internet 03 May 2008
If you haven’t heard of “Net Neutrality”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_neutrality before, wikipedia describes it as:

”… a principle that is applied to residential broadband networks, and potentially to all networks. A neutral broadband network is one that is free of restrictions on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, on the modes of communication allowed, which does not restrict content, sites or platforms, and where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams.”

Unfortunately there are corporations out there which want to control access, speeds and content available to those connecting to the Internet through their services. Below is an informative 10 minute video (I found it at “http://www.matthewgood.org/2008/05/net-neutrality/”:http://www.matthewgood.org/2008/05/net-neutrality/). If you have the time please hit play.
