Here’s an interesting article on net neutrality that describes the history of other monopolistic enterprises and how the future of our internet is heading down the same path.

It is not a good future path that we are heading down, either.

There are a lot of scary things happening these days, but here’s what keeps me up late at night. A handful of corporations are turning our open internet into this:

These corporations want to lock down the internet and give us access to nothing more than a few walled gardens. They want to burn down the Library of Alexandria and replace it with a magazine rack.

Why? Because they’ll make more money that way.

History is repeating itself.

   •  The telephone
   •  Cinema
   •  Radio
   •  Television
