Life in the Network

I have never really looked at this debate or particularly paid attention to this issue. From my current understanding of this debate the big telecom conglomerates are looking for corporate supremecy in cyberspace. In other words prioritizing the net piping for their own capital gain because of the amount of bandwith that sites use. I pay a decent amount of money to have my fast internet connection. Why would I want some huge telecom conglomerate to prioritize corporate from non-corporate sites? Not a chance. I understand that big telecom corporations laid the foundations for our cyberspace, but basically they want more money!!!! Who gets to fund this money? SO if they want to charge more to sites with monster bandwith use then in turn those sites will look to the users of the sites, or you and me the consumer. This boils down to the wonderful issue of money and those chillin in silicon valley who laid this groundwork want more. This is rediculous in my opinion. The issue is that this is quite feesible and cannot be ignored. I personally cannot see this threat becoming a complete reality in the next year or two or even in a five year span. But it is being debated and Orlowski stated, "Hundreds of blogs and campaign sites echo the terrible threats Keyser Sose has made, and the unimaginable destruction he might visit up on us." Net- Nuetrality is pain in the butt, and an issue that needs to be addressed and not pushed through legislation by the big telecom conglomerates.
