Net Neutrality and Iran

Bill Moyers weighs in on Net Neutrality and concludes that the Internet may be the tool to help revitalize our democracy.

I would argue it already is, given the rise of the netroots and its impact on some key (and symbolic) races. (Go Ned!)

As Bill notes:

The Internet is revolutionary because it is the most democratic of media. All you need to join the revolution is a computer and a connection. We don't just watch; we participate, collaborate and create. Unlike television, radio and cable, whose hirelings create content aimed at us for their own reasons, with the Internet every citizen is potentially a producer. The conversation of democracy belongs to us.

That wide-open access is the founding principle of the Internet, but it may be slipping through our fingers. How ironic if it should pass irretrievably into history here, at the very dawn of the Internet Age.

...Slip through our fingers? You mean like in Iran?

Are the FCC and Big Media trying to pull an Ahmadinejad?
