(2010-08-05) Isenberg Fcc Secret Net Neutrality Talks

David Isenberg gives lots of links/summaries of the secret talks the FCC's Julius Genachowski is holding on Net Neutrality. We can only hope that these attempts to shine some sunlight into the secret negotiations at the FCC will shame Chairman Genichowski into standing up for the citizen-users of the Internet. And even if he does, we can expect that unless the telcos and cablecos get what they want — a legal way to use their last mile access to the Internet like a toll booth — they will lobby, litigate, legislate and use the best PR money can buy to distort the issue to the public. Until, that is, we the people reorganize the access providers into a utility-like provider of connections without ties to applications like TV, telephony, payment processing, etc. (OpenNet)
