Is the wild west culture of the Internet about to become a thing of the past? Big business is staking its claim on the information superhighway, lobbying Congress for an exclusive faster lane, which consumers could end up paying for. This week on NOW we look at a major battle brewing in Washington DC over the future of the Internet. We follow the story of Blip.tv, an ambitious video-streaming startup. They’re fighting for a corner of the Internet marketplace in the midst of a battle over so-called ‘net neutrality’ — the idea that all Internet content and websites are given the same access to audiences and customers. If telecommunication giants have their way, companies like Blip.tv might be forced to compete in a marketplace wherein firms with large coffers can buy access to greater bandwidth and faster Internet speeds, leaving sites who can’t afford to pay in the slow lane. Craig Aaron of Free Press, a media watchdog group, says big telecom companies have declared open season on ‘Net neutrality.’ He’s afraid these companies will dictate how we use the Internet. “I think one of the beauties of the Internet is that it’s been open to views across the political spectrum. And if you hand the control of the information so that some can be preferred over others, you’re going to be handing that control to the big media companies that already control our television, airwaves, radio, you name it,” Aaron says. For their part, telecom companies argue that a fast lane on the …

@QustionAuthority1506 Laws are written to PROTECT citizens’ rights and not just to limit them. Net neutrality legislation would prevent large telecommunications corporations from infringing on our online freedoms, including free speech.

We should not lose internet neutrality
@QustionAuthority1506 The Fairness Doctrine allowed the FCC to hold news media accountable for their content. Specifically, it ensured the media would present multiple viewpoints. In other words, the Fairness Doctrine did regulate content presented by the content providers. Net Neutrality is totally different: It ensures that the Internet Service Provider (ISP) does not regulate the interaction between YOU and content providers (ex: Youtube, Yahoo Mail, Google News, Ebay, etc).
do you want websites like this to disappear because they have opposing viewpoints? the internet is not controlled by the government. they dont provide the service and they sure as hell dont regulate it, yet. if that was the case what the hell would be the point of passing net neutrality? currently, the average person has more freedom on the internet than anywhere else. how would passing a law to regulate it make it more free than it is already?
Question authority,
The Internet is alreadyunder the control of the government. The debate on net neutrality is whether it’s going to stay that way. Net neutrality means anyone can use the Internet. Currently I am satified with how the Internet works. Do you want to pay more to use websites like this?
the thing with net neutrality, which many people don’t realize, is that if it passes, the Internet will come under control of the GOVERNMENT. considering the whole social justice/fairness doctrine scene going down right now, federal regulation witll kill the internet faster than any corporation could.
The internet is getting creaky, GUYS.
GTFO MY INTERNET YOU WASTE OF BANDWIDTH.
hahaha noone can control shit… modom hack baby modem hack!

yall sound like a bunch of women lol
Wow that would be freaking terrible if they get away with this shit, it sucks cause its hard to believe that the guys with all of the money wont be the ones getting there way.
WHAT A FUCK!
I’m no HOOK either. You’re the one who’s opening the ‘right side’ of the dialogue box, which I looked up myself because I knew for a fact you didn’t have a clue what it meant.
I know you don’t have a clue, because you’re the one who’s opening it up. YOU started calling names, YOu are the one who’s not open to new ideas… I mean, comeon, you’re calling random people on youtube Ann Cappelletti, or some minion of hers, who you call a witch…
whatever, sonic, the right hand side of the
dialogue box dropped off. You may not be a
Cappelletti witch, but you are a HOOK.
This is exactly what I meant on the other page. You keep accusing random people you meet of being witches.
Well, actually, you accused me of killing a son, who doesn’t exist, with witchcraft. Seriously, do something better with your life other than accussing people and cursing them to Hell. You certainly wouldn’t get into any kind of Heaven that way.
ariakokom, hi, joyce cappelletti, you totally evil bitch, burn in hell.
You are being reported for use of spam bot.
Ann Cappelletti, conjured up Katrina. She has been practicing black magic witchcraft for 67 and has quite a following. What she couldn’t do herself, she paid another witch to do. Now, Ann’s powers are gone, Sabrina, who does God’s work, took away Ann’s witch powers, now she must pay other witches to do her evil conjuring, ie burning the Deutche bldg in the Wall St area.
when someone learns the truth and posts it, you freak out and say, he or she is crazy. There are many more than just me who have seeked the truth from whatever means, he or she could. It is only a matter of time, aria, cabalist.
aria, twit, think about why are participating in the Ann, Joyce, John Cappelletti cabal of paid posters.
11 Master occultists, witches & masons: Bush, Cheney, Ann Cappelletti, Tenet, Con D. Rice, Giuliani, Bill Gates, Silverstein, Schwartzenegger, Soros & Saddam Hussein (who is not dead-CIA lie) with David Copperfield created the illusion of 91101, no planes, just an illusion. John (witch) Cappelletti planted the explosives in the WTC for Silverstein.
What kind of drug-induced gang rape have you been participating?
ariakokoschka,
everyone knows people are doing witchcraft in the 21st century. That is why the end of the world is near. Almighty God is so pissed at you witches. Remember the first commandment. Eve got kicked out of Paradise for picking the witchcraft fruit. God created Adam and Eve, every other being came from the earth, evolution.
