		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Are We Losing a Free Internet?...&lt;/strong&gt;

Have you heard the bit about how the telco/cable companies want Congress to give them the keys to the Internet so they can decide who gets top billing on which sites load fastest? OK, this might not be what it's...</description>

		<description>I had an idea that I am calling...

FIGHT THEM IN THE TRENCHES

1. Given that is the telephone companies that are using our phone bill money to bribe our (s)elected representaives to kill internet freedom....

2.  We are, in effect, paying them the very money they will use to disconnect our reps from the majority opinion and our phone bills are also paying for the commercials that are brainwashing the citizenry on this issue.....

3.  Why not hit them where it hurts... not ONLY in the bribed corporate legislature, but IN THEIR TELEPHONE SERVICE CENTER CALL ROOMS.  LETS START A MASS CAMPAIGN TO CALL OUR PHONE COMPANIES IN THEIR SERVICE CENTERS TELLING THEM WE DONT WANT OUR PHONEBILL MONEY USED TO REMOVE OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO A DEMOCRATIC INTERNET.

4.  THIS WILL MAKE THEM FEEL IT WHERE IT COUNTS.  MORE AND MORE ANSWERERS WILL BE TIED UP WITH THIS ISSUE AND THAT WILL PRESENT A REAL PROBLEM FOR THEM AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THIER REAL SERVICE CALLS.

5.  OF COURSE THE IOWANS OR INDIANS WHO ANSWER OUR CALLS WILL NOT BE DIRECTLY TO BLAME BUT TRY TO STAY ON THE LINE FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF MINUTES INSISTING THAT YOU WANT YOUR MESSAGE HEARD..

e.g.

.".YES I KNOW THAT YOU PERSONALLY DONT DEAL WITH THE INTERNET, BUT THE PHONEBILL I PAY IS BEING USED TO GIVE THIS VERIZON ET AL TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE INTERNET SO I WONT BE ABLE TO SEE WHO MY TAX DOLLARS ARE REALLY KILLING MAKING ME BELIEVE THE LIES ON FOX OR NBC AND AS MORE IRAQIS ARE KILLED THEIR CHILDREN WILL WANT TO KILL MY CHILDREN SO DONT YOU SEE YOU HAVE TO RELATE THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR BOSS AS A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN TRYING TO END TERRORISM...ETC"

The more time you take up the fewer other calls are being answered... and now they have to deal with that problem by hiring more wervice center workers or whatever  ITS NOW THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY ARE FEELING IT IN A VERY REAL WAY..

We will be FIGHTING THEM IN THE TRENCHES....THEIRS!

I THINK WE SHOULD URGE PEOPLE TO CALL THEIR PHONE COMPANIES TODAY.  IF YOU AGREE PLEASE COPY THIS AND POST IT PROMINANTLY EVERYWHERE.</description>

		<description>Cmg3 -- what TV market have you seen that spot in? I've heard it's airing in Milwaukee and Seattle, curious to see where else it's playing. Also: was it one of the ads listed here? http://www.wewantchoice.com/page/content/ads</description>

		<description>I feel as though you should know that they have already begun their marketing for this act.

A commercial is currently running for "TV4US" calling for "more choice", running under the old beaten idea that the "internet companies" want us to pay for the "next generation of the internet", calling Net Neutrality "sticking it to the consumers".

At then end of this montage, it clearly asks the people to call their senators and say "no net neutrality".

We may be informed. But I fear that those not so well informed will fall in line with their scheme.</description>

		<description>The carriers representing the duopoly appear to have spent much of their energy on (no, not innovation):

 1) Lobbying Congress to gain tax breaks and prevent unbundling of services and competition
 2) Suppressing last-mile competition (e.g., muni wireless)
 3) Building out minimal infrastructure that paled in comparison to their promises 

And these are the guys who want the keys to the Internet?  &lt;a href="http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2006/05/net-neutrality-and-value-chain-concept.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;More here&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
