Photo reblogged from Soup with 73 notes

soupsoup: tanya77: ericmortensen: Those conversations between Google and Verizon that both companies swore were not taking place were, of course, taking place. They’ve now jointly declared their desire to eliminate any prospects for net neutrality on wireless broadband.  “Sixth, we both recognize that wireless broadband is different from the traditional wireline world, in part because the mobile marketplace is more competitive and changing rapidly. In recognition of the still-nascent nature of the wireless broadband marketplace, under this proposal we would not now apply most of the wireline principles to wireless, except for the transparency requirement.” Read the whole statement.  Smoke and mirrors. WE. ARE. FUCKED. Tell 5 friends to sign up at savetheinternet.com to demand the government to DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS and not allow some corporation to dictate our regulations. Net neutrality is going to be critical in the music industry. An open internet is simply REQUIRED for artists and musicians to expose themselves to the public and advance in their careers. Um, hi Justin Bieber? Not just the mega superstars, but every artist should be able to have access to the internet marketplace in order to share their talent. While it is open internet, it’s net neutrality, which means artists will still be paid for their work. They just haven’t figured out how to do handle this idea yet. More about this here. SO SIGN THE PETITION! KEEP NET NEUTRALITY!
