Net Neutrality April 28, 2006
The US Congress caved to big media again. “Net Neutrality” was given a death blow by Congress. The issue has been hotly debated by groups such as Save the Internet. People tried to get Congress to pass this legislation, but their efforts have failed.
The Internet has made things much more volitale for media and you should expect things to get much worse during the next 5 years, especially if our Governments do not care about our rights. I received a letter from my US House Representative Jim Marshall on 4-24-2006 on the issue of Network Neutrality. He stated he could not do very much since he wasn’t on the Committee overseeing this issue, but he would be watching for anything that swayed one way or the other - i.e. he supports net neutrality.
This hot issue (my search returned about 6,730,000 Google hits for “net neutrality”) should get hotter since the bad guys won in the US Congress.
The future looks very bleak for our media freedoms. By 2030 or so I expect Fahrenheit 451 to finally have arrive but with a dramatic twist: Total control of what/how you surf, read, watch and listen to will be controlled by Media conglomerates with billions in their pockets - simply to keep you locked into their brand.
… and they will feed you exactly what they want you to watch, all the while YOU have to pay for it. You will be owned!
