Re: <nettime> Net neutrality and the rest of the internet?

Dear Johnathan,

Thank you. I tend to agree that it may well be a lost cause but, one still worth commenting on and rejecting until its lost, no? I’d rather go down fighting. Maybe some can claim a completely autonomous net.space already and, therefore, this seems as much a part of hype as “multimedia” once did...but, I for one can’t claim a space that autonomous. 

“Net neutrality” is a bit of a buzzword. True.

hello Molly,

i like the neutrality of net.
you should want to call this with an other hype name than 'neutrality' which does not sound attractive.
i was not in touch, just googled 'neutrality'; 'net' ;and got to a wikkypedya webpage. >>>
>>it seems the kind of lost cause, a bit like the one of the 'Dine'/'Navajo' : .
, in my opinion, one day, people will realize there 'used' to be loads of lost causes such as the 'Navajo' and 'net/neutral' cause.
and which day will be a happy day, for there are always (in the Future)  other tools than you thought to defend and strive
for a cause that is loosing ground quite quick. too quick.

any info welcome.

Dear nettime,

Please post good sources of thought about the curtailing of “net neutrality” here in US and what effects that could or will have elsewhere?

Feeling myopic in my understanding

Much obliged for any, all comments

Also - an easy action to take is this one...open to international communication as well...tick the box!

<Net neutrality is about to disappear--soon! So let's follow John Oliver's instructions (which crashed the FCC website the last time this issue came up), and tell the agency we want equal access, and equal speed for everyone. Otherwise, telecomms and government will decide what we get to see, and what we don't.

Contact and comment to the FCC. 

⚡️Thanks to John Oliver there's a SUPER easy way to voice your comment⚡️


(the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page)

3. Be sure to hit "ENTER" after you put in your name & info so it registers.

4. In the comment section write, "I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs."
