Major telecommunications companies are spending millions lobbying the U.S. congress to make the Internet into a private network. In political lingo this mean abandoning what is called "Net Neutrality". In common sense terms it's about the government withdrawing our right to Internet Freedom. This V-Doc. (viral documentary) is about the current threat to Internet Freedom and how we can hold on to the open Internet and our right to communicate.
The only way the telecommunications companies will be successful is if we fail to raise awareness about this situation. If people find out about the fact that we are about to lose our Internet freedom there is no way they will allow congress to do this.
This congressional decision will set a monumental precedent, and thus, impact not just U.S. citizens, but citizens all over world.
I hope that the internet is destroyed, but if not.. i privatizing it would be a major improvement. The internet will never democratize our world.. it, instead, is eroding our culture, and sense of wonder about or world. Our culture of youtube, myspace is promoting a "get heard quick" and narcissistic mania among our youth. The internet is turning us into a society of automatons, devoid of any culture or soul.
