Net Neutrality 101: Get Involved

Most of us have heard the term NetNeutrality, some understand it and some don't. so I decided to help thosethat don't and keep it fresh in the minds of those that do. Crooks& Liars inspired me with their post 'There'sa problem. It's called Net Neutrality'

The easiest way to explain what Net Neutrality is, and the issues surroundingit, is through Save The Internet'svideo 'Save The Internet'. You can go to SaveThe Internet and click on your state and see where your representatives standon this issue. You can also send them messages through the site.

We're all guilty of sitting around complaining about issues, but rarely take the initiative to do our part. Let's not be sitting around drinking coffee in 5 years wishing we did our part.

EXCELLENT!

I didn't know; but my ears pricked up when I heard that AT&T had bought my phone company (Broad Band) in the last state I lived in ...

I had known years ago, when AT&T went down as a monopoly, that while many of us thought the gov't was doing it's job, AT&T in fact, had arranged that for themselves because they wanted out of the phone business to free themselves up for "other high tech venues"...

Boy, we are so far behind the 8 ball, I'm not sure we've got a long enough cue left in the rack.

If anyone can find a link to how much time each candidate was given during the Republican debate last night, please email me at elucid407@gmail.com. I'd like to do a post about it, as well as add some communications perspective, but I can't find any information about it.
