An important and interesting discussion, over the future of the freedom of the internet. It is an important and pertinent topic to "everyone." Everyone is connected to the internet in one manor or another. Whether for research, entertainment, or work. The "digital divide" arguement is an important yet entirely independent issue. The fact that certain portions of our population are still in the dark, is a sad and blunt reality. The arguement over whether these issues are the same, is not the point. However, the monopoly of the phone/cable companies over broadband distribution is where the issues are intertwined. The phone/cable companies are keeping the poorer demographic out of the debate and out of political discourse as well. Seems like another way in which to keep the poor poor and the uneducated ignorant. If more people had internet access, more support would be given to the Save The Internet issue. This is where the issues are connected and can support one another, somehow that was missed in the discussion...
