Save the Internet from evil corporations!

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web, is a new and infrequent blogger. Not surprisingly, he writes when he's really serious. So, I had to pay attention when he talked about Net Neutrality twice. I 'Googled' from there and found out what the fuss was about.

SaveTheInternet.com puts it across in a simple way:

Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most.

Did I hear "Horrendous!"? If you want to understand fully how this affects users of the Net, see these examples.

There needs to be some discipline and ethics in social or business interactions, even on the Net. But business simply should not dictate law.
