Comcast getting greedy, now google being able to give comcast the smack down and turn the tables. It's hilarious only because the sh*t hasn't trickled down and kicked the little guys like us in the balls making us second class citizens. What's so funny and indeed *hopeful* is that this is perhaps the first time that the little guys haven't been the first to be marginalized. It's great that net neutrality may soon be law... but until it is we must remain ever vigilant. a) google won't always be "not evil"... it's gaining tremendous market power b) without net neutrality well and encoded into law there is a constant threat of traffic shaping and deal making. Even after it is in law the threat of secrete deal making will continue, but until its in law there's absolutely nothing we can do to find out about or protect ourselves from net neutrality abuses but beat our chests in unison and blog foul. > Solidarity, > ~FluxRostrum > Solidarity indeed, -Mike > > current project > http://MobileBroadcastNews.org > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > homebase > http://Fluxview.com > > ~~~ > NOTICE: NOTHING HAS CHANGED. > Due to Presidential Executive Orders, the National Security Agency may have > read this email without warning, warrant, or notice.
