Net Neutrality - Plight of the People

A Tech and Culture research paper turned mini-documentary on the future of Net Neutrality and the internet as we know it.

Don't let the internet fall victim to the "Cable TV" syndrome, keep it as a part of our society and support Net Neutrality!

Net Neutrality discussions are highly encouraged. Video responses would be great! Get the word out!

you mentioned canada alot, is this issue mainly a problem in canada or what?

[syncy2]

No this problem is nearly global. I use canada as an example simply because I'm canadian and my research was concentrating on Canadian/North American markets.

cool. i found this from a post of yours on NG, PChillin really does work well with this. and its a good mini-doc.

[syncy2]

link'd... sweet. Yeah I didn't even have to tweak it. It just plays twice and the timing was good. :)

Glad you like the mini-doc.

Imagine there was no net neutrality when the internet was created. Google, created by students in California, would never exist. Youtube, created by three former paypal employees, would never exist. Facebook, created by a college student, would never exist. Think of all the bands that got signed because of videos and music they promote on the internet.
