Welcome

"[…] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

- Senator Ted Stevens

You're doing it right now.  Look at you go.  You're using The Internet as it was intended to be used.  A sprawling, free, open network of computers, the Internet has likely allowed you and millions of others to learn things in minutes that would have taken hours or even days just twenty years ago.  Chances are good you've already checked your Facebook today.  You can even use a computer or mobile device to interface via live video with another Internet user anywhere else on Earth for as long as you like.  The Internet has allowed for the exponential growth curve of technology to take off and we are right on the bleeding edge.  It is an undeniably fascinating time to live.  Whether you realize it or not, you are tapping the free information of the Internet this very moment, but, unfortunately, some Internet service providers and government bodies seek to stifle that freedom and availability of information allowed us by the Internet.

Net Neutrality is a priciple, a policy, and a movement.  Since early 2000, Internet users and researchers have identified the potential for the Internet to go the way of radio and television and suffer heavy regulation.  In the coming weeks, I will be expanding upon and examining the current state of Net Neutrality and the freedom of The Internet.
