I thought this was a great statement and sums up what I have been saying for a while now. People are not being given all the information about why the currently proposed Net Neutrality changes will not work to their benefit. Esther Dyson talks about this and how two tiered pricing [...]

At the MMTC Broadband and Social Justice Summit, Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, made a passing reference to net neutrality when she discussed how tiered pricing would be a market entry barrier to some online entrepreneurs.

UPDATE – If a picture is really worth 1,000 words, I’m going to guess a video is worth about a million, so I hope you do take five minutes to watch this video about the Exaflood. I’ve been in technology for over a decade now, and it still surprises me how far we’ve come in [...]

As we approach the Thursday, January 14, 2010 deadline to comment on the FCC’s proposed rules for Network Neutrality, I’m reminded of the marbled halls of the FCC and the relative frenzy that has consumed our nation’s capital, and all of the politicians, lawyers and lobbyists who are involved in this contentious issue.

“You see, this is why we should have Net Neutrality regulations, because if this ever happens they can stop it”
That title sounds silly, right? Well, that’s most of what the pro-Net Neutrality sites are using as the basis of their arguments. Here is another article that tries [...]

I’ve been working on keeping track of how the Net Neutrality issue is playing out, and the more I do, the more I realized someone has to speak up.
A month ago, Free Press claimed it was “troubled by some of the heated rhetoric that has gone back and forth over whether civil rights organizations should [...]
