Net Neutrality == Save the Internet

Do you like the way Internet works for you today? Isn't great you can surf to anywhere without restrictions? What about reading, viewing and playing whatever you like without asking permission to anybody else or even paying extra?

Well, these are the questions I asked myself lately when I realized my current Internet provider is against Net Neutrality... WHAT???

Yes, the 3 big ISP are at different levels against Net Neutrality. So, I started to research about it and I found that information in the great web page SaveTheInternet.com.



If you want to read in more details about it just follow the links:
So, which ISP should I contract? Sadly, in my region I don't have the option to select Earthlink which is a supporter of Net Neutraliy, so I guess AT&T is my best option instead of keeping my Comcast connection.

Just in case you wonder, the supporters of Net Neutrality according with the FAQ of SaveTheInternet.com are Amazon.com, Earthlink, EBay, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Facebook, Skype and Yahoo.

Thanks for reading.

The Paradox Of Our Age

"The Paradox Of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but let sense;
more knowledge but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines but less healthiness.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but we have trouble in crossing the street to meet our new neighbour.
We built more computers to hold more copies than ever,
but have less real communication;
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast food but slow digestion;
tall mean but short characters;
steep profits but shallow relationships.
It's time when there is much in the window
but nothing in the room."

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
