Sat, 22 March 2008 With its back-to-back denunciation of Net Neutrality and its launch of Hulu as its anointed site for streaming TV, films, and video, Big Media's goal is nothing less than to turn today's wide open Internet into a closed system more akin to cable television. The likely result: as we've documented in cable, independent and diverse voices and their content will be inexorably marginalized or silenced. To prevent this Big Media alliance with Big Cable/Telco from
cornering and controlling the Internet, it is time for the government
to implement reasonable network neutrality oversight that protects
consumers and content creators, and preserves the open Internet we
enjoy today. Listen to Stevie Converse of Free Press interview Jonathan Rintels of Creative Voices on Media Minutes. |
