net neutrality

just a quick post,

I had never encountered the concept of net neutrality, and therefore didn't really understand much about it. But I was hunting around on digg and found this video that explained what it's about. So if anyone is as clueless about it as I was, I've posted the video. Hope it helps!

Fantastic!

I posted the same video on the same day on my own blog! I'm terribly passionate about the issue, and I agree with you when you mention that this video does a great job of laying out the historical roots of the debate along with its contemporary manifestations. I've posted a number of other links if you're interested in some further reading.

An event like this is really testament to the particpatory culture that we're living in: the WWW is a BIG place, and yet completely independently of one another, we were able to locate this video and start to discuss its relevance. Granted, I'm a big fan of Digg and its ability to assemble the web's content, and it seems that it helped us both discover a great piece of work on a extremely important issue.

Nice. I haven't seen that video in a long time, but yeah, it's a really good one. Like Jon, I also think this is a huge deal. Last month I tried to explain the issue myself in this blog post. I've got a good video there that is helpful in pointing out some more Canada-centric issues.
