Net Neutrality 6-05-2006

Net Neutrality Links

I’ve added these links to the Net Neutrality Page today.

A think tank issues a report favorable to it’s funders? Shocking! by George

Can you believe it? The Heritage Foundation issues a brief against net neutrality without disclosing its relationship to companies also against it: . . .

Nothing Neutral about Net Neutrality

The issue is more complicated than this — and even goes so far as to granting corporations the same 1st amendment rights that individual citizens have. Just as a citizen has the right to disagree with something and to express that disagreement by NOT speaking in favor of it, so too a corporation can choose to NOT speak in favor of or support in any way something it disagrees with. A newspaper does not have to print an editorial it does not support. That sounds ok you say. But how about: An ISP does not have to deliver an e-mail it does not support?

Statistics Lie – Are They Alone?

I’ll be damned! There’s the $200 Billion! Right there! They’ve been using it to eliminate competition and drive their argument that they need more to improve the infrastructure.

Don’t we feel good now that we have been giving them our money so they can screw us? How’s it feel to have some arrogant human like Ed Whitacre tell us they’re “HIS PIPES.” They’re our damn pipes Ed – we’ve already paid for them and for your salary also!

Putting all the talk of packets, fiber optics, infrastructure, last mile, pipes etc. aside, the bottom line is that the Telco’s have a money issue at stake. It isn’t about research and development, it isn’t about improvement, it’s about making more! And they don’t care about us. This argument that its about charging the content providers like Google? Just lame stuff because that will all filter down to you and I anyway.
