Get off your ass if you want to save the internet

from the NY Times:

Cable and telephone companies that provide Internet service are talking
about creating a two-tiered Internet, in which Web sites that pay them large
fees would get priority over everything else

So us poor bloggers would have to take a back seat to corporate bigwigs with fat wallets once again? I don't think so. The best argument I've heard against this is that telephone companies don't get to decide which phone call you make goes through faster- they shouldn't get to decide which pages you click load faster.

Shakespeares Sister has a good list of actions to take to save the internet- go do something good.
