I have been meaning to blog about this and got a bit of a push while reading over at Under the Mad Hat recently.

Apparently there are a couple of big problems with Internet and the WWW as we know it today. First is that it’s basically unregulated which makes me wonder why Republicans aren’t falling over themselves to protect it. Until I get to the second point, an unregulated Internet is not a profitable Internet. At least not for ISP providers who could make a heck of a lot of money if they were allowed to two-tier their bandwidth. Doing so would allow them to sell the broadest and fastest band to those who could afford it and leave the rest to well – us. Finally, a neutral net allows we who use it to do just what we are doing now. Writing and sharing and meeting and bringing a whole new meaning to the idea that it is truly a small, small world.

So find out more about the campaign to protect what we have. Here (if you are in U.S.) and here (if you live in Canada).
