Net Neutrality Videos

If you don't know what "net neutrality" is, you should click on the links below to find out about it.  At present, all internet traffic is supposed to be treated equally.   However, telecom conglomerates are pushing for the creation of a "two tiered" internet.   A "fast lane" for content providers who can afford to pay, and a "slow lane" for everyone else.

If you think this is strictly an American issue, you would be completely wrong.   The situation in Canada is actually worse.    In 2005, one Canadian ISP actively blocked its customers access to a website that was critical of the company's practicesOthers are slowing down Bittorrent and VOIP traffic.
