Throw a rock in the air and you’ll hit someone who uses the Internet. Throw the same rock again and you’ll hit someone who has no idea what Internet neutrality is. That’s the thing with people. No one cares how it works as long as it works. But with some issues, caring only when the machine breaks down cannot and will not fix anything. Imagine that you’re living on a space station looking down at the Earth below, and your every breath is provided by machines pumping air into the little tin can you call home. You have instruments that tell you when there’s a problem, but you ignore them because you figure someone else can deal with it. You only start to notice something’s wrong when suddenly you can’t breathe deeply. You can only hold your breath so long. Without the Internet as a neutral playing field people plugging into the matrix will find a much different experience than they have known before.

On the surface, this whole Comcast Internet issue seems to be BT or file-sharing focused.

Indeed, Comcast has another real financial reason behind to blocking/delaying the P2P traffic on their network. It is the free VoIP services that comcast is really targetting.

As many of you already know, Headzup's satirical cartoons have been known to traverse the globe within minutes of publication by being passed from cell phone to cell phone as forwarded picture messages. By carefully crafting our daily cartoons to "fly under the radar" of monopolistic mobile network operators, we are working to establish an early beachhead from which other progressive voices can be heard.

While Comcast’s blocking is the most talked about violation of Net Neutrality, new information calls into question AT&T’s offering of unfettered access to the Internet.

Before their reincarnation as AT&T the phone company — following their merger with SBC — they were AT&T, the long distance company. (You may remember their never-ending ad campaign, 1-800-CALL-ATT.) The difference between the new AT&T and the old one is the latter didn’t control any wires — they just used them. This Read more »

When more than 3 million voters under age 30 turned out for recent caucuses and primaries, they staked a claim as a major force shaping this historic presidential election. Because so many leave college with, on average, $20,000 in debt during a recession economy and are entering a job market with fewer opportunities to earn a decent living, energized young Americans are yearning to help solve America's problems, address the mounting issues of income disparity, and contribute to the health and well-being of their communities. At the same time, a call for enhanced national public service is part of the presidential candidates' campaign platforms.

Thus, this is a singular moment in which to demand a larger and bolder vision to propel all Americans, across generations, fully into the 21st century. It's time for a Digital New Deal.

This may be the only place I don’t feel the need to play up the importance of tomorrow’s Commerce Committee hearing on Net Neutrality.

When I’ve talked to other people – and when I post on other blogs – about this hearing, I always try to grab people’s attention and tell them that, even with the primary tomorrow, we need to keep our eyes on the ball when it comes to Net Neutrality and the future of the Internet.

I know I don’t have to tell all of you at SavetheInternet.com about that.
