The ability to use net neutrality as a censorship device is so clear I don’t understand why it’s not a bigger part of the debate.
That aside, it’s ludicrous on its face that all bits flying through the pipes should be treated equally; clearly there are emergency services that should get priority as needed, and no one wants spam to get equal treatment with actual information.
Plus: Why SHOULDN’T I be able to pay for an internet service that prioritizes, say, online gaming performance over email and the like. If that’s my interest, it’s a perfectly legitimate service.
David Armano a Twitter friend (we've never met, but I value his perspective and suspect I'd like him in person) has a must-read piece about trust in the media. And since we are all media now, who do we trust? His whole piece is worth reading, so please go look at the research, and then come back here for my thoughts.
David Almacy now of Edleman Public Relations as Senior Vice President for Digital Affairs and formerly White House Internet and E Communications Office Director of Media Affairs for President Bush, spoke with me about the White House's claim that the website the Obama team received was archaic and out-of-date. This simply was not true. As part of the "smoothest transition in history", President Bush had a brand new website ready for whichever new administration took office.
87% of Houstonians polled say that politicians should be held to a higher standard when it comes to rhetorical decorum. Turns out that Rahm Emmanuel has a potty-mouth and Joe Biden routinely says "f*ck".
Dr. Donald Palmisano, former President of the American Medical Association and Director of The Coalition To Protect Patients Rights joined me and discussed the Health Care legislation, the AMA's support of it and much more. It is a must listen.
