This predatory scheme would muscle aside the Internet’s real revolutionaries — the small-guy innovators who historically have made the Internet a beacon for democracy, economic growth and new ideas.

Hey, I found something really fascinating from May 2002: an after-action report on why QoS failed to get traction on the high-speed experimental network “Internet2″ - Why Premium IP Service Has Not Deployed (and Probably Never Will):

…in a Premium service world, making a customer that otherwise
doesn’t pay you directly switch from “free” (for transit customers)
best-effort service to paid Premium service and have some money
dribble through the payment system into your coffers seems too obvious
a trick not to play… We expect that if Premium were deployed, providers would begin to treat the best-effort traffic of non-customers worse than the best-effort traffic of their customers.

The erosion of best-effort service would lead to a completely
different world where all serious work gets done over Premium service
and users are generally expected to make virtual circuit reservations
for most of what they do. By deploying Premium service, do we want to
supplement the Internet best-effort service or to replace it?

I think we do… how could we not? With all these mega organizations, artists, and tons of members of the public, they would be pretty much shooting themselves in the foot if they said no to net neutrality.

You should put more of the videos (like the moby video and others that are on the homepage) onto the Video Page too. That way they’re easier to find.

So with all this support, do you think we stand a chance?
