Technology - The Internet Must Go

Excellent mockumentary about how and why Internet service providers such as Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner and Comcast are pushing to eliminate or suppress the net neutrality. Over the years theyve spent billions to build the pipes and towers that bring Americans the Internet. Today they face a crisis, theres just too much traffic. (Un)fortunately they have a solution - the Internet as it exists today must go. Instead of everything going at the same speed, the way it does now, they will create a fast lane and the slow lane on the Internet. Giant companies who can pay them more will be in the fast lane where will be easier for people to find them. Everyone else can take the slow road. Theyll also create innovative new ways to charge Internet users for the sites they want. Whats stopping them? Well youve probably heard a lot of hype about net neutrality and keeping the Internet open. What do those buzz words really mean? On an open Internet theyre supposed to treat everything equally whether it is profitable for them are not. This stands in the way of their freedom to make the money they think they deserve, but the public wants the Internet to stay open. Thats why they need a market researcher (John Wooley) to get out there and talk to people and help them figure out how to sell their new vision so they can eliminate net neutrality and reach their maximum profit potential. Basically is the way the Internets been since the beginning. You wanna get FOX news and you wanna get a friends blog at the exact same speed. And what certain Internet service providers have talked about now is charging for faster lane and the only people that could really pay for the faster lane would be corporations.
