Last night the Public Broadcasting System, aired a very important program about Net Neutrality issues that is also available to view on the Internet by Bill Moyers titled, "The Net at Risk." A "live discussion" and 'blogs" are also available on the PBS web site "Moyers On America."
The web page provides a statement that "The future of the Internet is up for grabs." Will citizens have the same open opportunities for personal expression and social networking that have been developing for more than a decade? Or will Congress, in the very near future, allow a few very large corporations to construct a "toll road" which could restrict these new emerging opportunities in the future?
We should all be actively involved in insisting to our elected representatives that this issue deserves a thorough public discussion throughout America. This topic may be one of the most important of our times. Imagine that Blogs, discussion groups, sharing photographs and other creative multimedia efforts, etc., are restricted in the future, instead of encouraged as we have come to expect.
