FCC votes to move net neutrality rules forward - The Hill's Hillicon Valley - 0 views

  •  
    The implications of Net Neutrality may well affect how people can get to online epublished works, especially those put out by smaller publishers....The Federal Communications Commission unanimously voted to open the proceeding that could lead to open-Internet regulations, although the two Republican commissioners dissented on whether rules are warranted. The approval of the notice to consider net neutrality rules is the culmination of contentious lobbying by the telecom industry and an intense exchange of letters from members of Congress.

Cory Doctorow:Net Neutrality for Writers: It's All About the Leverage - 2 views

  • If Net Neutrality is clobbered the way the telcos hope it will be, the next Web or YouTube won’t come from disruptive inventors in a garage; it will come from the corporate labs at one of the five big media consortia or one of a handful of phone and cable companies.
  • Here’s something every creator, every free speech advocate, every copyright maximalist and every copyfighter should agree on: allowing the channels to audiences to be cornered by a handful of incumbents is bad news for all of us. It doesn’t matter that the lame-duck, sellout FCC won’t stand up for us. It doesn’t matter that Canada’s CRTC and the UK’s Ofcom are no better, that regulators around the world are as toothless as newborns. This is the big fight for us – the fight over who gets to decide who will be heard and how.

Google Denies Selling Out On Net Neutrality - 0 views

  •  
    "Verizon is blogging that their closed-door ten month negotiations with Google are about 'openness and accountability.' Isn't that an oxymoron? "What does appear to be happening here is Verizon and Google are trying to protect revenues by crafting voluntary, self-regulatory rules that will pre-empt tougher government rules."

The Network Neutrality Debate: It All Depends on What You Fear - 0 views

  •  
    "How do you think they're going to get to customers? Through a broadband pipe. Cable companies have them. We have them. Now what they would like to do is use my pipes free, but I ain't going to let them do that because we have spent this capital and we have to have a return on it. So there's going to have to be some mechanism for these people who use these pipes to pay for the portion they're using. Why should they be allowed to use my pipes? "The Internet can't be free in that sense, because we and the cable companies have made an investment and for a Google or Yahoo! or Vonage or anybody to expect to use these pipes [for] free is nuts!" - Edward Whitacre, Jr., CEO of the telephone company SBC (commenting on Google in 2005)
