What is the internet? Is it a marketplace, a "world phenomenon" or an economic good?

It's the next stage of media, the outlet of expression and information. It is technically a public good. It's a public good!!!! We're getting this relatively cheap source of information, news, organization, entertainment. Our generation is growing up with this tool to accumulate knowledge, to further creativity, to develop artistically and intellectually. The internet spawns true ingenuity. Everyone can participate. We have user guided encyclopedias! People are learning from each other in profound ways, accessing the information needed to make informed decisions. Essentially, the users are still wielding control, and as far as forging new territory goes, we're doing a damn fine job. Ron Paul FTW!
This fabulous public good is under threat of attack. With Mainstream News presenting overwhelming bias and appeasing corrupt politicians, the internet must maintain it's open content, open sourced freedom.
The internet is not owned by anyone. It's airwaves, it's not a physical thing. As it is a public good, our government acts in the interest of the public by licensing it out to companies who control it's broadcast. It's really a fascinating legal study.....
Anyway, the gameplan for these broadcast companies and other corporations is to "privatize" the industry. That means that the internet will be completely profit driven. No neutrality.
You know how you have a million decisions to make regarding your cable TV? I mean, I don't know because I don't have a TV, but I'm sure most people do. Anyway, those cable packages are market driven, offering you channels based on advertising and profits, excluding that which doesn't make money. As a source of news, the internet would be as useless as the mainstream media has become. Where is factual, neutral information going to come from? Publius? When is this infringing upon free speech? Sure, you can speak, there just is conveniently no outlet for you to do it. Oops, Sorry.

So, keep the internet free and public , support net neutrality!


And, remember. Even now, those broadcasters are already affecting the internet you see and have access to. Support Federal Regulations to restrict the control over internet access or the internet could be taken over by these "digital landlords."
