"Major telecommunications companies are spending millions lobbying the U.S. congress to make the Internet into a private network. In political lingo this mean abandoning what is called "Net Neutrality". In common sense terms it's about the government withdrawing our right to Internet Freedom. This V-Doc. (viral documentary) is about the current threat to Internet Freedom and how we can hold on to the open Internet and our right to communicate.

The only way the telecommunications companies will be successful is if we fail to raise awareness about this situation. If people find out about the fact that we are about to lose our Internet freedom there is no way they will allow congress to do this.

This congressional decision will set a monumental precedent, and thus, impact not just U.S. citizens, but citizens all over world."

ive been part of this for some time now, this is a real problem that really needs to be fixed. Congress cant pass this or a LOt of people will be pissed off.

[Correction]

What an objective analysis of Net Neutrality! Sign me right the fuck up!

Just as soon as I finish watching that "Loose Change" video for the 50th time and finish this letter to my congressman about the North American Union conspiracy.

UPDATE

Senate Committee Rejects Net Neutrality
In news from Capitol Hill, the Senate Commerce Committee has dealt a setback to efforts to keep the Internet open and accessible to everyone. The Committee rejected an amendment that would have preserved net neutrality. But media activists who support net neutrality said the close vote showed momentum is growing in their favor. The amendment fell just one vote short of passing.

Thought some of you might want to know......this is starting to suck big balls..

This certainly does not show that the majority favors heavy internet regulations. If anything, I see this as a sign that things are likely going to stay as they are for quite some time still.

I use earthlink so I'm safe. Regardless, this is pretty funny because this is something alot of people should care about (who doesnt use the internet) and it's on an election year. Really sucks it passed though.
