Net Neutrality

Adam Cohen had an interesting article on net neutrality the other day.

He described the efforts of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web, to keep the internet neutral. What the article sums up the idea that the web is not merely another means of communication for the media. The internet has a unique role in the global community as a platform for literally everyone, with or without access to a computer.

However, this is threatened by discriminatory practices by the same corporations that currently run the mainstream media.
