Stop ATT From Taking Your Web

But most content providers are little guys. They're mom-and-pop operations specializing in, say, antique egg-beaters or Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia. They're anarchists, kooks and zealots peddling all sorts of crank ideas. They're personal publishers and small-time investigators. They include my son's comedy troupe--streaming new videos on the Internet every week. They also include gazillions of bloggers--including my humble little blog and maybe even yours. Until now, a basic principle of the Internet has been that the pipe companies can't discriminate among content providers. Everyone who puts stuff up on the Internet is treated exactly the same. The net is neutral. http://alternet.org/rights/36145/ [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on May 15, 2006]
