Network neutrality, web access & the public knowledge project

Image...
What does Network Neutrality actually mean? Basically, that the provider that lets you connect to the Web should not play a role in accessing contents on the Internet, it should not discriminate the sources or play favorites.

Everyone has to be connected to everyone else on an open base, and the network’s only job is to move data - not to choose which data to privilege with higher quality service.
This concept is strictly connected to the one of Digital Divide......

    Its more likely than not that in our lifetimes networks will be build by telecoms and governments under the guise of "Free high speed net access for all".

    That will be the end of network freedom and neutrality.
    Companies are already spending to lobby against net neutrality. The revenue lost due to piracy is amazing.

    Enjoy it while we can.

    And remember NO GREED, PLEASE SEED!

    IF WE DON'T PROTECT NETWORK NEUTRALITY, THE FREE INTERNET WILL TURN INTO WHAT CABLE TV IS. PAYING TO HAVE ADVERTISERS ADVERTISE, AND PAYING TO HAVE COMPANIES SAY WHAT CAN AND WHAT CAN'T BE SEEN. GET INVOLVED IF YOU CARE ABOUT FREE ACCESS TO INFORMATION THAT you WANT.

    I cannot tell you how important this is, already many ISP's are limiting where you might go to on the web..Sit there and do nothing and this will effect you more then like you later.

    like with everything else, they'll try to sell us some bullshit about keeping up safe from terrorists or keeping us safe and orderly some other way while they steal our liberties .
