Bruce Kushnick: Internet Freedom? You Are in an Internet Prison and You Don't Even Know It
Bruce Kushnick: Internet Freedom? You Are in an Internet Prison and You Don't Even Know It:
"The Republican and Democrat platforms claim that they are for Internet freedom, but their version doesn't open the networks to actual competition. Instead, it is based on the AT&T and Verizon hype. Working with ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), the phone companies' definition of Internet freedom is that internet-phone service (VOIP) should not be regulated, when in reality the entire thing is a verbal jujitsu to remove regulations, obligations and competition on telecommunications services offered by the incumbent phone companies. Over 20 states have passed bills based on claiming this version of so called 'Internet freedom,' California being the latest causality."
