On July 20, 2008, CV Executive Director Jonathan Rintels was interviewed by WINA-AM 1070 host Coy Barefoot for half an hour about the Third Circuit's overturning of the FCC's decision to fine CBS $550,000 for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.  They also discussed the FCC's decision to sanction Comcast for blocking and discriminating against Internet traffic.

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.
