Jamie gives us some links and insight to net neutrality.
Don’t Worry, It’s Worse Than You Think: “
If you’re looking for a good way to understand the impact of Net Neutrality (or the lack thereof), you need go no further than this article on newsforge.com, under the byline of James Glass. (Thanks to Dave Passmore
for passing me the link.) The article describes in horrifying detail
what it takes to start a service for cell phone users as a way of
putting what a lack of Net Neutrality could portend for the Internet in
concrete terms.As the bio information at the bottom notes, James
Glass is not the author’s real name. According to the site, the author
is “the owner of a company currently trying to navigate the minefield
of running a third-party service on the cell phone networks.” He wrote
this article pseudonymously “because the cell phone companies have the
power and freedom to crush his company by blocking it from their
networks.”Read it and weep. Or better yet, write your congressional representatives.
