net neutrality is dieing

Name: Anonymous 2010-12-23 12:40

A dark time is coming, net neutrality has been mortally wounded. As many of you are well aware the internet is the last and greatest bastion of free speech and now voices can be snuffed out by corporate will. I beg of everyone who reads this message do whatever you can, if you are a United States citizen then write, write to congressmen, write to house representatives, tell them of the threat to freedom of speech, to freedom of information, and most of all write to President Obama, remind him of his campaign promise to protect net neutrality. Tell him how he has let down the American people by allowing this to happen.  Those of you not within the U.S. or who feel they can do more please act at your discretion. Do whatever you can to protect that which we all hold precious.

Information is free
we do not forgive
we do not forget
expect us

You suggest that the government is free of bribes; most recently, the administration has adopted the moniker of "Obamacare" to support their health care overhaul and somehow have gotten what is formerly a word that is derisive of the overhaul promoting their website at the top of Google.  Bribery? coincidence? just suspicious, and that's more than enough.  Moreover, the reliance on countable private-owned ISPs require that functionality and profit are related.   It permits me to, in all but drastic situations that is in a different domain of Internet access, one that net neutrality is not going to address, change my provider if I am unhappy with their service.  How do I change my ISP from the panel assigned by the US government if I am unhappy with how they are providing the service?

To go another step, you have listed a <i>hypothetical</i> problem as the core of your argument.  (And the Wikileaks debacle proved that it is much easier to just refuse to do further business with said entity, which is, itself, a freedom that is within the other business's power.)  I revisit the popular phrase "a solution searching for a problem."
