Net Neutrality Links

Yes, it's that subject again. At MyDD, Matt Stoller has a nice post collecting links on the topic. All of them are worth a look, but I want to highlight a couple.

There's a wealth of information at Save the Internet.com. Keep up with the latest developments, and find out what allowing the telecom giants to take over the Internet will mean for regular people sitting at their computers. That last link also lists examples of ISPs and access providers in the United States and Canada flexing their muscles to prevent their customers from seeing or doing particular things with their Internet connections.

Stoller also links to a call to arms by Art Brodsky.

Don't look now, but the House Commerce Committee next Wednesday is likely to vote to turn control of the Internet over to AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner and what's left of the telecommunications industry. It will be one of those stories the MSM writes about as "little noticed" because they haven't covered it.

Brodsky also provides some explanation of the issue in very understandable terms, and the comments at the end of the post are sometimes quite enlightening. There are ways around this if Congress allows the telecom industry essentially to regulate themselves on this issue, but it would be much simpler to just prevent them from carving up the Internet in the first place.
