This is an issue which needs further study for sure. The sky is not
falling I do not believe. Taking action to force complete neutrality on
all net traffic is not in the best interest of a commercial ISP who has
to make some tough decisions when looking at issues like peer to peer
traffic and such. I am not interested in forcing myself to adhere to an
"all bits are created equal" philosophy unless there are provisions that
allow me to filter viruses, spam, limit excessive abusive traffic, etc.
I think everyone needs to study the issue fully and then start thinking
about how best to proceed. In the meantime we need to get a feel for
what the possibility is of us all getting shafted at peering locations.
I see this as the biggest threat to what we do as an industry. If we
have to start paying prices like the old days or higher for bandwidth
then this could get ugly real fast.

I watched it too. Very nicely done. I'm not sure that I like the
fact that there were no telcos there.
I've got mixed emotions about this one. On the one hand, I don't like
government over regulation. It's true that there isn't a problem
today. It's also true that the telcos aren't to be trusted.
I think I lean more to letting the market take care of it's self till
we KNOW of a problem or an impending one.
Someone else really needs to take the lead on this though. I fail to
see any concrete reasons to be all worked up about anything other than
the idea that all should be able to buy anything they can afford.
The argument that some will have faster pipes than others rings hollow
to me because the internet is already like that. The more you pay,
the faster you can go. Gee, what a concept.

Dear Alex,
Bill Moyers <http://www.savetheinternet.com/blog>
Tonight at 9:
Watch "The Net at Risk"
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/K7xJ_ZM1wPKJ/>
On the Web:
Join the Debate at PBS.org
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/K7xJ_ZM1wPKJ/>
Tune in to PBS tonight to see the SavetheInternet.com
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/Z1xJ_ZM1wPKK/>Coalition
featured in "The Net at Risk," a documentary produced by
award-winning journalist Bill Moyers.
Then join other SavetheInternet.com members in an online Web
discussion at PBS.org.
Bill Moyers' show airs at 9 p.m. in most cities (check local
listings <http://action.freepress.net/ct/KpxJ_ZM1wPKD/>).
Immediately following the East Coast broadcast, PBS.org will
host a live Internet debate between Free Press Policy
Director Ben Scott and phone industry flack Mike McCurry.
You can be a part of this online debate. Here's how to join in:
*When:* Oct. 18, 10:30 pm Eastern / 7:30 pm Pacific
*Where: *http://www.pbs.org/moyers
You'll be asked to log in to participate in the online
discussion. With your help, we hope to light up the PBS Web
site with our campaign to save Net Neutrality.
It's important to have you there. In the six months since
the SavetheInternet.com Coalition was launched, millions of
Americans have joined the campaign, spoken out for Internet
freedom, and put Congress and the phone companies on notice.
Tonight's program could make millions more aware of this issue.
They need to hear the real voices of people like you instead
of industry mouthpieces. Help us use the Internet to save it
from corporate efforts to stifle online innovation, free
speech and competition.
Please join us tonight!
