I and a couple of other Internet celebrities committed a music video supporting net neutrality. Check it out at We Are the Web.

WOW!!! I think you are the only Internet celebrity of the bunch I've seen before... but wow!!! Great site, great cause and one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time.

Way to go...

The telcos want to reserve a portion of their own network's bandwidth so they can deliver television programs over their network in order to compete with the cable providers who already provide VOIP, Internet access, and television programming over their networks.

They aren't talking about limiting or denying access to any web sites. you'll still be able to visit any sites you want to.

They are however talking about charging sites (like Google and Microsoft) a fee to prioritize their packets over their networks so that the site's content is delivered with less latency. If the telcos do reserve a portion of their networks to deliver television to their customers a la the cable companies, then available bandwith will be reduced and will therefore be more valuable. Paying the telcos so that people can access your content more quickly would probably be better for your business.

It's not like you won't be able to get to a site that doesn't pay. Their content will be delivered to you as quickly as the content of all the other sites that don't pay for prioritization.

Google, Microsoft, and the other big internet companies are complaining because for years it's been one big free ride on the telco's networks and they're used to it. Now the telco's desire to realize more profit from their own networks threatens to reduce the profits of the big internet companies so naturally they're up in arms over it. They're hiding their fear of reduced profits behind net neutrality.

My only real concern is how this reduction in bandwidth will effect on-line gaming.

You know what? I did some more reading on this and you may be right.

This really is some potentially evil stuff going down. Maybe not actually evil, but definitely potentially evil. I'm still not completely sure though, because it's all so hypothetical.

I'm not usually a proponent of big government or more government, so I'd think I'd be happy with a law that said I have the right to go where I want to on the internet without fear of being redirected, intentionally delayed, or otherwise prevented from reaching my intended destination. Other than that, I think the market should be allowed to shape itself.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

TRON Guy great video, I'm glad you got to be a part of it and the Net Neutrality Debate. I've never seen that sweater girl before but she is frick'n awesome.

I had seen the peter pan guy, if you guys haven't checked out his site before, you're ummmm um missing out?

Who are the basketball Player guys?

Pretty cool. I recognized TronGuy, that freaky Quizno's thing and one or two other things.

You know what is really great about this music video other than our TronGuy being in it? It's the message and the point of that message that still rings in my head.

I might be a man of simple humor but this isn't silly, but lite hearted. And that's a good thing.

I would love to broadcast this on other sites... if I knew how.

Never mind that right now... I'm going to watch it again... I like it..
