Network Neutrality
It seems that recently I’ve only been putting funny stuff online. This time, I’m talking about something more serious… a little something called network neutrality.
Prior to a few days ago, the physical infrastructure of the internet was just a bunch of wires that transmitted everyone’s data equally. However, the big telecom companies want to skew this level playing field based on which companies pay them the most. This is where Save the Internet comes in.
Do you like visiting my blog? I probably couldn’t afford to compete with Blogger, or Yahoo, or any other blogging service… and what would happen when I don’t pay? Would my voice be marginalized due to some external market force introduced to pay for a resource that has already been developed and is easily maintained with the current schedule of fees that nearly everyone pays?
I don’t want that to happen. If you don’t either, check out Save the Internet and see what you can do, too.
