I thought that the whole Net Neutrality debate was over, but I've been seeing TV commercials attacking it lately. The commerical is paid for by a coalition of cable companies, and it says that Net Neutrality is some kind of myth made up by Silicon Valley-types to make money. Obvious lies, but since it's on the teevee, people are gonna believe it. Luckily, Bill Moyers and PBS have produced a program on Net Neutrality, and it airs tonight. Here are the highlights from an e-mail I received:
Quote:
Tune in to PBS tonight to see the SavetheInternet.com Coalition featured in "The Net at Risk," a documentary produced by award-winning journalist Bill Moyers.
Then join other SavetheInternet.com members in an online Web discussion at PBS.org.
Bill Moyers' show airs at 9 p.m. in most cities (check local listings). Immediately following the East Coast broadcast, PBS.org will host a live Internet debate between Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott and phone industry flack Mike McCurry.
You can be a part of this online debate. Here's how to join in:
When: Oct. 18, 10:30 pm Eastern / 7:30 pm Pacific
Where: http://www.pbs.org/moyers
You'll be asked to log in to participate in the online discussion. With your help, we hope to light up the PBS Web site with our campaign to save Net Neutrality.
