FCC Hearing At Stanford About Net Neutrality

The FCC held another hearing at Stanford University today. The previous one at Harvard last February, was almost ludicrous taking in to account the antics performed by Comcast and it’s paid henchmen. I strongly encourage anyone that has an interest in the freedom to use the internet in their own unfettered way, to keep an eye on what is going on with Net Neutrality. This issue has far reaching implications, not just internet freedom, but our freedom in general.

What baffles and bothers me, is the lack of substantial mainstream media attention of this whole issue. You may hear a quick blurb on your local television news station, or you may not. This is a huge issue, and people need to wake up and see what the big corporate telecoms are doing. Many people are not very computer literate, and have little to no knowledge of some of the technical aspects. Companies like Comcast take advantage of this, and play word games to impart spin to their lies, and lies they are. They blow smoke and set up mirrors to divert the publics attention from the real issue which is, Comcast denied blocking traffic, then changed it’s story to they only temporarily delay traffic. Well, which is it?

The fact is they got caught red handed and are now trying to put out the fires they created. Reading various forums around the web I still find people that think Comcast has done nothing more than ‘managed’ their bandwidth. That is what Comcast would love people to think. The people who give this kind of response are not grasping what is actually going on and are completely forgetting that Comcast keeps changing their story. I could go on and on but won’t. You can do your own research. I hope you do. Search and learn just how close we really have come to having a corporation dominated internet that would dictate to you how you surf, where you surf, what sites you can see and how fast you will see it. Don’t let it happen.

To all would be dictators:

DON’T TREAD ON ME!
