Hello Joseph,


Just the same i want to make IP's and ISP's common carriers; nearly like
the
way telephone is supposed to be. Net Neutrality is a Good Thing.


True neutrality is slowly deflating. A few days ago I ran for the first
time into a case where you could not access certain web content if on an
American ISP. Deutsche Welle, the German station that has the mission to
spread German culture around the world just like VoA does for us,
refused to play their TV news. All I got was a message stating that it's
off limits for American users. So I wrote to them. Turns out they had
struck a deal with Dish Network and the contract required them to cut
off web streaming to us here in El Norte.

Pretty soon all "entertainment" content (and the networks say that
also means "news") will be owned by Sony. Just look around.
