You may have heard the expression, Net Neutrality bandied about lately. It could effect what you pay your internet service provider. For one side of the story (in which the very structure of the internet is in peril) go here. For a Canadian view on the story go here. For a PBS side of the story go here. If you want Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee's (one of the founding fathers of the internet) side of the story go here.If you'd like to read what Wikipedia has to say on the topic go here.



You can also read about United States Senator and then Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and his unintentionally humorous and strange interpretation of the internet and net neutrality. To hear him stumble over his own words and hear a discussion by tech experts go here.
