Default Hungry Beast: Net Neutrality
I am really loving Hungry Beast at the moment.

Here's an interesting clip from last night's show. It scares me to think that this seemingly robust internet world we've all had a hand in creating may be influenced by corporate gods.

Is the net quite as free as we think? Marc Fennell takes a small snapshot of the way your net is changing:

Really.

What makes you think this?

I don't believe it's happening at all.
Not in the slightest.

It is no measure of health- to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

thanks for posting matt
i had no idea

that reason put forward by the presenter on behalf of the US telcos is super dodgy.

why can't they just start charging by usage now? they would be able to change their contracts - telcos do it all the time.

because they really just want this kind of power, and these huge payoffs from web companies
