'Save the Internet' campaign

A major effort to educate the public about Net neutrality, and to lobby Congress against allowing telecoms to create a two-tier Internet, begins Monday. See my Darknet blog for details.

I was just interviewed by NPR on this subject, and the report should air on All Things Considered this Tuesday.

As with everything, it's not a black-and-white issue. Safeguards need to be put in place that the next-generation Internet being engineered in educational settings isn't held back by requiring equal access before it even rolls out the door. But on the whole, Net neutrality is an important principle for us to embrace as a society, wih potentially large consequences for grassroots media makers.
