TODAY`S ISSUE

What you espect to have, to find, to get when you connect to internet ?

Supose your computer is allways connected to ISP (internet service provider). That would mean that you have a network card, modem - something inside the computer box or external box - and a wire goes out from there going somewhere outside the house. To a server, probably another “full of wire, switches and electronic components box”, owned by a company who made a contract with you to allow you internet access for some of your cash.

Now, I should start to explain why that company is a small wheel into a large big gearing .. why that small company give you a small share of what they get from a bigger “shark”, that internet connection is, or may be, done using mainly same technology as radio, tv, phone communications.

Ops ! In field of communications, internet`s turn up reach on solid ground. Big operators were allready on market. Multinational corporations are long life there allready. Human greed is well known. Would they allow others to reach to the top, equal with them, or better they will try to take over the control ?

Well, that could be simply ok. Those corporations have the money, the technology, the experience, anything in background or frontdesck would recommend them as a good option to get control on internet conn… Wait a minute !

WAIT A MINUTE !

CONTROL ?! Hmmm ..

Not to long a go, I supported a small campaign to deny a suposed attempt against bloggers right to free speech. An attempt to get control. the guy denied into an end and claim that his real intentions were misunderstood by people.

But ..

Wandering the ether is another blog-post who tell about the threat of internet getting under “sharks” control.

AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner.

Ok, they may be just a small part of the list. Ok, each of them probably have a large staff to decide the control over the internet, probably wise guys and girls, experienced, with good intentions. How many of them can be ? 100 ? 3000 ? 25000 ?

Internet have probably at least 100 millions REGULAR users. Mean people who stay connected, communicate, search, write, add sites and so on. Would be ok 25 tousends to decide for 100 millions ?

Yes, would be ok, if those 25 tousends would be ELECTED, not ENFORCED.

I`m one of those 100 millions.
I didn`t vote anybody.
Nobody asked me if ON MY MONEY, I want one unknown to decide what I can and what I can not do-see-find on internet.
I do not agree, on MY money and MY work, some idiot from AT&T to submerge my sites or my favourite sites becouse I`m not agree with his company policy.
I want to have the right to expose to public things broking your rights, my rights too.
I do not want that politics to decide who I am and what I can see-learn-like.

Some time a go, Scooter said, “Fuck the millenium” :

Transmission, here is the force
Are you ready for the new technology?

………

Alright, leave me alone guys!
There’s nothing, there’s nothing more to say.
FUCK OFF!

People,

A C T - N O W !
