WIRED: We’re About to Lose Net Neutrality — And the Internet as We Know It

12. Yep.

I wonder if this will finally inspire people though, to start getting together in person? I think that's what we need to do to promote real progress, is to take action beyond the relatively anonymous internet discussions. I don't know if the solution is going to be laying down in front of trucks, boycotting these corporations, mass striking, or a simple sea of bodies in the capital shutting down business as usual... but we need to do something.

Every time something great comes along, the forces of ignorance, greed, selfishness and ultimate tyranny come along to claim it for their own. The internet is something I have greatly loved ever since I was a child, because it is truly "universal" in it's application. The more power the big boys and girls have over it, the more government control, the more regulation and policing... the less power the people of the world will have to truly communicate ideas, feelings, expressions.

This is one thing that makes me angry enough to fight back. If only I knew how.
