how to get from there to herewhile net neutrality makes a lot of sense to most people, how can we make sure that it becomes law. Our open source government democracy is decidedly NOT neutral, and the same interests that would take away our rights on the internet, are the...

6 of onehalf dozen of another. Like all extremists you paint a nice picture from one perspective. All these internet companies are so innocent and all they want is a fair shake . . . yeah right. In order to maximize profits, they purposely underbuilt their networks. They advertize high...
Not surprising..They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and now want to deny it. So of course they will change their tune when any type of action is taken. Comcast needs to be strung up from the tallest tree and hung for the world to see. I...
Why?Apple has been proven to be far worse then Palm(read: Google Voice App), so what goes around, should come around.Untill Aplle confesses, and discontinue their shenanigans when it comes to apps on their devices, then they have no reason to voice any indignation against those that do the same thing...
