Net Neutrality

As someone who puts things on the internet, and as someone who works for an organization that depends on the internet for our work. The idea of allowing corporations to dictate (more than they already do) who gets what access when is a very scary idea.

Net Neutrality is essentially the idea that the Internet should be treated as a public resource that forms a foundation for business (like phone lines), rather than a specific type of service (like cable TV). Currently, this is not the attitude the U.S. government seems to have about what is possibly the most powerful resource ever created by man. Today is a day to raise awareness of the idea of Net Neutrality, and to try, at least in the U.S., to get the government to see what it really is, and how it needs to be treated.
