savetheinternet.com — Congress is pushing a law that would abandon Network Neutrality, the Internet’s First Amendment. Network neutrality ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate website by preventing companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying Web sites. [Can we stop this?]

Internet2 can only be used for academic use right now, and is rather strictly controlled compared to the current Internet. Don't expect it to turn into the next Internet, despite the name.

What is the big boohoo?They are winning the battles. Of course, they are cutting deals with the law makers. But they are also losing the war.Think Viet Nam. The US won every battle that was a battle, but the problem was, they lost the frigging war.It is called pissing against the wind. In those days it was called "going against history".Keep your cool.

mesh networks are not the answer. they never were, and unless something changes drastically, mesh networking isn't going to takeoff anytime soon. most of the bandwidth would go to routers exchanging routing tables, and as others join the mesh, or leave the network.sure it looks simple, but for those of us that know what the hell we're looking at, and talking about, there is more to networking then "plugging it in".

I concur with mcbarron. I visit commercial sites hardly ever. To the point, i trust commercial sites less because of the profit motive. In the market the goal is not to educate. It is not to encourage critical thinking. The goal is to buy cheap and sell dear.
