Comments on: Time to be Heard on Net Neutrality http://weblogg-ed.com/2006/time-to-be-heard-on-net-neutrality/ The Read/Write Web in the Classroom Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:50:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Wilson http://weblogg-ed.com/2006/time-to-be-heard-on-net-neutrality/#comment-4323 Wilson Fri, 30 Jun 2006 19:54:00 +0000 http://weblogg-ed.com/2006/time-to-be-heard-on-net-neutrality/#comment-4323 I'm glad to see you wrote that the net neutrality debate won't affect what content users can access as this is a common misconception. I'm working with the Hands Off the Internet coalition coming from the other side of the issue. We are opposed to further intrusion into the market by the govenrment in the form of net neutrality regualtions. This wouldn't contribute to a divide between wealthy and poor children accessing the internet, because it's about the content providers paying their share and not the consumer paying more. The Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Ebay's of the world should contribute to the fiber upgrade that will bring us the next generation of the internet. I'm not claiming to know the logic behind Senator Wyden's stance on net neutrality, but he does have several large content providers; Yahoo, Microsoft and Google operating in his state.
