Thanks Andy,  I can't wait to see it.  ron On May 18, 2006, at 8:32 AM, Andy Carvin wrote: >  Net Neutrality is not government regulation ... unless you consider the Bill of Rights regulation absolutely... "regulation" is a canard thrown out by the telcos in their million-dollar-a-day lobbying spree in Washington. They're basically asking for the right to not have to play fairly and get away with walling off online content from the public based on their individual profit motives. Go to DC and pick up the latest copy of Roll Call - it's plastered with pro-telco full-page ads. The money being spent lobbying against the public interest is staggering. Last night I participated in a panel of public media activists in Boston's Chinatown. Dan Coughlin of Manhattan Neighborhood Networks gave a great presentation about what's at stake with the COPE legislation (the telco-sponsored House bill that's attacking community media and eviscerating network neutrality). I recorded a podcast of it and plan to post it later today. We also shot the whole panel on dv and will be uploading it in the coming days... andy -- ------------------------------ Andy Carvin acarvin (at) edc . org andycarvin (at) yahoo . com http://www.andycarvin.com http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.pbs.org/learningnow ------------------------------ SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!
