The Internet as we know it is facing a serious threat. There's a debate heating up in Washington, DC on something called "net neutrality" – and it's a debate that's so important Google is asking you to get involved. We're asking you to take action to protect Internet freedom.In the next few days, the House of Representatives is going to vote on a bill that would fundamentally alter the Internet.

This is a topic I've been meaning to post on for a long time. I've been away for most of the weekend in my little spare time this evening I thought I'd hit on it.  The topic is Net Neutrality. The topic is a difficult one to summarize, but I'll attempt to. Essentially, the way the Internet exists now, the pipes that allow ISP's to connect and broadcast on the Internet are content blind.

Far be it from me to criticize Senators for talking tough, yet I can't help feeling skeptical: Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) stepped in front of a group of tech executives in Washington this morning to deliver a caffeinated and surprisingly sharp defense of network neutrality. Pledging to use "every ounce of my energy to protect network neutrality," Wyden had a message for ISPs who might be pondering new charges for various forms of access: "think twice." If ISPs start down that road, they might soon find that they lose key legal protections including "safe harbors" and tax freedom. As I said, I like it when Senators talk tough to corporations, especially if they are actually in the room. But consider the political realities. Congress has yet to pass a real net neutrality bill into law. This mea

Tomorrow, the Commerce Committee will hold a hearing on net neutrality. Senator John Kerry wants your comments: We need to set the rules of the road so that it doesn’t take overwhelming public pressure to get movement from corporations on network management issues. We need to give the investment and telecommunications industries clarity on what they can expect going forward. I’ve seen compelling testimony that Net Neutrality, for example, would have a minimal effect on investment in infrastructure improvements and expansion. There is simply no reason for us to delay any longer in this. I understand that clogged traffic due to high volume can be a problem – another reason to enact policies to expand infrastructure, by the way – but discriminating against content is not an acceptab

According to the Huffington Post, Edwards is, "as split as the party he once hoped to lead -- and is seriously considering supporting Sen.

Edwards was a sharp critic of Clinton throughout the campaign but towards the end of the campaign began losing faith in Obama.

Obama’s message of change is linear to Edwards’ message throughout his campaign of changing Washington, but he feels he may not have the toughness to be presid

MSNBC: Comcast Corp. actively interferes with attempts by some of its high-speed Internet subscribers to share files online, a move that runs counter to the tradition of treating all types of Net traffic equally. The interference, which The Associated Press confirmed through nationwide tests, is the most drastic example yet of data discrimination by a U.S. Internet service provider. It involves company computers masquerading as those of its users. The Internet has always run on the concept of Network Neutrality. Without Net Neutrality, ISPs can charge website owners more or less depending on whether or not they agree with the content. For example, in an Internet where Net Neutrality is not the standard, Comcast would undoubtedly charge The Seminal a ton of money for providing content like this. Congress is not moving fast enough on Net Neutrality. With this new evidence of data discrimination it is clear that we must elevate this battle now in order to Save the Internet. Here is

TBL sulla nework neutrality Vent’anni fa, gli inventori di Internet progettarono un’architettura semplice e generale. Qualunque computer poteva mandare pacchetti di dati a qualunque altro computer. La rete non guardava all’interno dei pacchetti. È stata la purezza di quel progetto, e la rigorosa indipendenza dai legislatori, che ha permesso ad Internet di crescere e essere utile. Quel progetto ha permesso all’hardware e alle tecnologie di trasmissione a supporto di Internet di evolvere fino a renderlo migliaia di volte più veloce, nel contempo permettendo l’uso delle stesse applicazioni di allora. Ha permesso alle applicazioni internet di venire introdotte e di evolvere indipendentemente. Quando ho progettato il Web non ho avuto bisogno di chiedere il permesso a nessuno. Le nuove applicazioni arrivavano sul mercato già esistente di Internet senza modificarlo. Allora provai a rendere la tecnologia del web una piattaforma al contempo universale e neutrale

Some of the most powerful voices in labor are throwing their full support behind Net Neutrality– calling it crucial to the success and vitality of our democracy.

To quote Wikipedia:Network neutrality (equivalently "net neutrality", "internet neutrality" or "NN") refers to a principle that is applied to residential broadband networks, and potentially to all networks. Precise definitions vary, but a broadband network free of restrictions on the kinds of equipment attached and the modes of communication allowed would be considered neutral by most advocates, provided it met additional tests relating to the degradation of various communication streams by others.[1][2][3]The principle of Net Neutrality and regulations designed to support the neutrality of the internet have been subject to vociferous debate in various forums. Since the early 2000s, advocates of Net Neutrality rules have warned of the danger that broadband providers will use their power over the "last mile" to block applications they do not favor, and also to discriminate between content providers (i.e. websites, services, protocols), particularly competitors. Neutrality proponents als

Recently, I posted on net neutrality. In that post, I urged readers to contact their various Senators. I followed my own advice and sent my Senators an email. One of those Senators, Sen. Wayne Allard, responded… at least, his office responded. Below is a portion of that response. As a United States Senator, I believe I should help ensure that policies are in place to foster timely deployment of broadband to all sectors and geographical locations of American society. The current debate in the U.S. Congress and across the nation is concentrated on whether additional laws and regulations are needed to ensure the development of competition and its subsequent consumer benefits (often referred to as “net neutrality”), or conversely, whether more laws and regulations would be overly burdensome and discourage investment and deployment of such services. Congress should be careful in approving legislation without first examining its ramifications on economic growth, innovation

What is Net Neutrality? Well, right now what we have is net neutrality. What in means in a nutshell is that everyone pays the same fee for the same access to the same lines that make the web work.

Maine has become the first state in the union to pass legislation on net neutrality. The resolution, LD 1675, recognizes the importance of “full, fair and non-discriminatory access to the Internet” and instructs the Public Advocate to study what can be done to protect the rights of Maine internet users.   Lawmakers and consumer advocacy groups had nothing but good things to say about the resolution:   “Maine is the first state in the nation to stand up for its citizens’ rights to a nondiscriminatory internet,” said Senator Ethan Strimling, the original sponsor of LD 1675. “The rest of the nation should follow suit and study what can be done to protect net neutrality.”   Shenna Bellows, Executive Director of the Maine Civil Liberties Union said, “Maine is once again leading the way in protecting the rights of its citizens.

The next time you use the Internet, type the phrase “net neutrality” into your favorite search engine. You might be surprised by all the information you’ll find on network neutrality — a topic that most Americans have never even heard of. And yet, for anyone who uses the Internet — for e-mail, online shopping, research or recreation — the principle of net neutrality is vital for keeping the Internet the open communication platform we have come to know.Put simply, net neutrality protections ensure that network operators provide nondiscriminatory access to the network and online content. Think about it like this: When you make a phone call, the telephone company can’t keep you from talking to whomever you want, or prevent you from talking about whatever you like. Net neutrality applies the same operating principle to Internet communication.Net neutrality is nothing new; these provisions have been in place since the Internet’s inception. Indeed, these guidelines helped mak

I just made my voice heard on the net neutrality issue. IF you value the Internet, you should also."Net neutrality" is an issue that will shape the future of the Internet.Save The Internet.NetCompetition.orgNetwork neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. The Internet has operated according to this neutrality principle since its earliest days. Indeed, it is this neutrality that has allowed many companies, including Google, to launch, grow, and innovate. Fundamentally, net neutrality is about equal access to the Internet. In our view, the broadband carriers should not be permitted to use their market power to discriminate against competing applications or content. Just as telephone companies are not permitted to tell consumers who they can call or what they can say, broadband carriers should not be allowed to use their market power to control activity online. Today, the neutrality of t

"Despite the urge to hold providers accountable for such activities, the ISP community has been remarkablysuccessful in maintaining a position of neutrality, the digital successor, in spirit and often in fact, tothe common carrier phone company.Adopting this approach has required strict adherence to a cardinal rule often referred to as "networkneutrality." This principle holds that ISPs transport bits of data without discrimination, preference, orregard for content.The network neutrality principle has served ISPs, internet firms and internet users well. It has enabledISPs to plausibly argue that they function much like common carriers and therefore should be exempt fromliability for the content that passes through their systems."The neutrality was more a way to get more customers than a way of seeing the Internet.And now, when the customers are there and they contributed to make the Internet a global power as it is, they see the convenience in discriminating the users in base of the us

According to a report by German site Heise Online, movie production giant Universal Studios "stepped out" of their exclusive HD-DVD deal with Toshiba. This rumored information, spilled through a press conference held by Blu-Ray advocates Pioneer, also came with a mention that Universal was the last of the exclusive HD-DVD format supporters in Hollywood.Major publishing giants Paramount and Warner also stepped down from the HD-DVD exclusive agreement with Toshiba, some time before Universal followed suit. It was publicly announced that Universal would be supporting the HD-DVD format back in January, but following this development coming from the pro-Blu-Ray camp, Universal might have chosen to stay neutral in the HD format wars.And if this development is of any consequence, it might give Sony a level battlefield with Toshiba in vying for domination of the future HD movie format. As of publishing, Universal has yet to officially confirm or deny these claims made by Pioneer.Technorati Tag

Read much of the computer media and the prosody about Internet 2 is decidedly purplish and positive. New bandwidth! Ultra speed!

I was browsing around digg and found a story about comcast cutting off service for customers using too much bandwidth. Never mind the fact that comcast advertises "unlimited" service in some of their commercials.Supposedly the limit is around 200GB usage per month and that it's a "moving target" so they could change it at any time.. and my guess is, they do. So the 200GB number is useless.Quite a few people were blasting comcast in the quotes section. Claiming crappy service, outages, limits, etc. Not just against comcast but other ISPs.

As you can tell by looking at any of them I’ve done virtually nothing to personalize them - they’re really just one way for my friends to end up here. For awhile now I’ve been warning my friends about the trouble that will occur if Net Neutrality is ever dissolved. Trust me - we’ll all be much happier if Net Neutrality stays in place. In a recent post Ask a Ninja, titled MySpace Will Censor You, the guys discuss a situation developing on MySpace which is a pretty good example of what Net Neutrality would entail. Right now MySpace bans the use of video services like Revver basically preventing users from posting Revver videos to their site. It’s not just videos they ban but apparently any outgoing links to the site. According to Ask a Ninja if you even try linking to Revver the link will be removed once you submit your changes. Th

If you visit this website, search on Google, shop on Amazon.com, or even just loaf around the net then Net Neutrality is most definitely a subject you should learn more about. While I strive to avoid putting anything of a political nature on this site, it’s important that we (as internet users and digital media consumers) understand what exactly the future of the internet faces. Below you’ll see a video describing Net Neutrality in it’s simplest terms. I’ll take it a step further and draw a parallel with something else that might seem familiar, Cable TV. Turning on your cable box you may have access to channels like SpikeTV or G4TV. One town over, however, where they use a different Cable System they may not get these same channels.
