[…] I ramble on from time to time about net neutrality and now the guys over at savetheinternet.com have a good run down and video about the cause. If you don’t know what this is and use the internet you need to learn more. […]

Let’s work as hard as possible to get this website known by as many people as possible guys. Put it in your IRC quit message, in your signature on forums, links on your websites and blogs, etc, etc. We have to shove the link “http://www.savetheinternet.com/” in the face of the entire world.

“savetheinternet.com” (without the quotes) also fits nicely as an Xbox Live motto.

I don’t know if this is the place but I wanted to give an update on the Michigan bill (HB 6456). It appears to have passed on the the governors desk so efforts should be redirected to getting the governor to veto it.

More info on the bills progress can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/yhhjlp

Save the Internet? … Why worry about losing the internet?

Let me tell you “a” reason why you should not worry about losing the internet..

It because “you cant” lose the internet.. No matter how hard they try, no matter the means they imply, no matter the capabilities of the technology.. They “CANNOT” stop the internet!..

You guys really worry too much.. It appears you do not understand that the technology that the internet runs on is based on the simple “Hi’s and lows” (on and off’s for the programmer out there) which in turn means you cannot stop the nets flow of information nor can you strangle it to death either..

Before you lambast me, yet me yet explain further that if you used simple encryption technologies, you can transfer gigabytes of data in a very small file, or you can transfer information on the fly (real-time) without adding or changing the flow of data in any way (meaning that no matter the means at the disposal of the entities that try to control us, the greater the loss of control …

Let them have their “high speed” bandwidth from the 97% “dark” fiber laid out across this country.. It’s only going to jam up that bandwidth, while we still can transfer unlimited amount of information in less then a second using alternate means at our disposal ..

Again .. “They cannot control the internet!”

Network Neutrality: Fact v. Fiction

By: Using Wiki in Education » Blog Archive » Help make Net Neutrality a law in 2007

[…] Back in April I wrote about the nascent efforts of the Savetheinternet.com Coalition to stop the efforts of big telcos to create a tiered Internet which favors those with deep pockets. That initial effort was successful, as the anti-Net Neutrality bill expired with the end of the 109th Congress. But the fight is not over yet. It’s now even more important for you to speak out. The 110th Congress that begins work on January 4, 2007 appears to be more Web-friendly than the 109th which means it’s now possible to make Net Neutrality a law. As the 110th Congress comes into session, please contact your representatives and senators, especially the newly elected ones, to let them know where you stand. Savetheinternet.com has contact information, a tracker showing where senators stand, and a petition with 1.2 million signatures. […]

One thing that is missing from this website is a detailed breakdown of the arguments of the telecom companies postions. I personally like to understand the “other side’s” argument based on what they believe are the issues. And I don’t mean, “ARE GOAL IS TO TAKE YOUR FREEDOMS!!” but specifically why they think thier proposals are good for the future of the internet. Maybe a point-counterpoint page. Petition signed, thanks for the hard work.

Net Neutrality is the cornerstone for all improvements to the Internet. No Net Neutrality = No Internet.
