Net Neutrality

Here’s an interesting video I ran across. It talks about Net Neutrality. You’ll see Lawerence Lessig in there as well as some other biggies: Cerf, Kahn, Berners-Lee. All these people are speaking out for network neutrality on the Internet. If you don’t know about Net Neutrality, this five minute video will tell you everything you need to know.

In this video, there was some historical information about print publishing and radio broadcasting that I didn’t know. Each of these technologies started as a way for individuals to distribute information to each other. Now both (print and broadcasting) are controlled by large corporations and have effectively become one way communication tools. It is interesting to see how these things can be directly related to the direction of Internet information if Net Neutrality is blocked.
