[kictanet] Net-Neutrality

[Ali Hussein]

Me too :-) Though I chose to believe that was a Typo. :-)

There's hope yet. I have picked a quote from the IPDB website which I'd
love to share:-

The early web gave us a utopian vision of a decentralized world. Corporate
giants and governments would be replaced. We would live in a society where
we deal directly with one another, free of censorship or coercion.


*Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel,
I come from Cyberspace, the new home of the Mind. On behalf of the future,
I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You
have no sovereignty where we gather.- John Perry Barlow, A Declaration of
the Independence of Cyberspace, 1996*

The internet has displaced many of the old powers, but new powers dominate
the web as we know it. Freedom of expression is often limited. The ironic
result of this centralized control is a fragmented internet where the
information you have access to is determined by your location and
providers, things you have no control over.
