Net neutrality isn t the sexiest term, and it easily gets lost among discussions of health care, war, and the doom wreaked by the financial industry. Yet the Internet has become a vital tool for our democracy, a hub of communication that connects activists across the globe and provides space for alternative media to grow and reach new audiences. John McCain, who publicly admitted being Web-illiterate on the campaign trail, nevertheless has introduced legislation that would allow corporations, not citizens, to control access to the Net. Obama has spoken about the importance of Net Neutrality, but can we count on him to fight for our right to the Web?

Obama has spoken about the importance of Net Neutrality, but can we count on him to fight for our right to the Web? We here at GRITtv wouldn't be able to do what we do without a free and open Internet, so today we're discussing Net Neutrality with Timothy Karr of Free Press, Gigi Sohn of Public Knowledge, and Karlos Schmieder of the Center for Media Justice.

In this episode, we get sorta serious with the subject matter, but dont worry, there's still LOLcats involved. We talk to a very esoteric and smarty-pants guy, Columbia University law school professor Tim Wu (he's hot too! but married) -- he's the guy who even the FCC trusts to help them make fair laws about such things as the AT&T and BellSouth merger. Professor Wu is credited with popularizing the concept of "network neutrality" in his 2003 paper Network Neutrality, Broadband Discrimination. In 2006, he co-authored the book, Who Controls the Internet? Network neutrality is essential to free speech, equal opportunity and economic innovation in America, so if you use the internet -- or at least, if you watch porn on the internet -- here's your chance to learn exactly why you should care. Also, after you watch this episode, you can sound super smart at all those parties you go to with your social networking friends. During 2008, Wu served as an adviser to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. Episode links: Tim Wu (wikipedia), Tim Wu (personal), network neutrality

How greedy US corporations threaten to end the level playing field of the internet, meaning some information will be more equal than others. Barack Obama has declared his commitment to net neutrality, but now he needs holding to that in the face of the lobbyists. www.foureyedmonsters.com/neutrality www.visionon.tv
