My Internet
This is something pretty interesting I stumbled uon this morning that I wanted to share with everyone.
Evidently there's this thing called Net Neutrality. It is the princible that we can surf whatever we choose to on the internet. For example, use whatever search engine we want. According to what I've red so far, which is not alot, congress is not putting any emphasis on this 'law' thingy. What could happen if Net Neutrality is not pushed by congress is that your ISP (eg. Time Warner) could block access to Google, and divert you to use Yahoo. They would do this because Yahoo may form a contractual agreement with Time Warner so they both make some more cash. This could also effect the internet based phone companies as well since many ISP's are developing there own VOIP programs.
Basically to my understanding is that corperations could be taking control of where you surf if this 'First Internet Amendment' isn't passed. I don't doubt that I'm making alot of sense here. Here is a link to more info.
