My blogging friend
Matt Harzewski literally woke me up with his post about
Net Neutrality. I actually picked the video I show you here from his selection.
“Thanks Matt for being on alert with those things!”
Where is the threat?
Would you like your ISP to do the following things to you.
- Throttle the speed for Web sites they don't like.
- Blocking certain protocols, like streaming video, and only offer their own paid content.
- Charging Web site owners extra to get access to you at a decent speed.
- etc., …
Watch this video
Network Neutrality or “Net Neutrality” means all Internet traffic is equal. There is absolutely no discrimination. There is no speeding up or speeding down of data packets based on their origin or destination.
The technical network part of the Internet is democratic and that's why you can find a wealth of information from so many little guys next door.
The largest telephone and cable companies in the USA — including
AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner — want the ultimate control over the Internet. They want to charge extra for access to their clients.
Imagine that, you run a successful Videoblog and all of a sudden you have to pay a fee to get your content delivered to AT&T, Verizon, … customers?
Those large players want to
tax all content providers to guarantee delivery of their data at decent speed.
“No money → no guarantee → bad delivery”
But that's not all.
Maybe they decide, you shouldn't use Google anymore. Maybe you have to use their own search engine, that will find only commercial offers. Who do you think would receive the affiliate commissions?
Have you heard enough?
Then act now and support the “Save the Internet Movement on its way to Washington”, the participating Congress Men, and the Bill that could save your future.
It is important for your future, the future of your kids, the future of your country.
Act now!
Yours
John W. Furst
P.S.: Don't go to bed tonight before you have acted.
Act now to protect net neutrality.
