Image for the article Net Neutrality: The telcos strike back, with cartoons

Some days ago, you heard the song that promotes Net Neutrality. Now, please watch what its enemies are doing. Two animated cartoons, that literally blow away our conception of what can be done on the Internet.

The Hands Off created them. And in the last cartoon, the Future of the Internet, those assertion were aired:

  • “The future of the Internet would be a smart network, more faster, and more choices”, meaning that in the future, each kind of data will use a different kind of pipe. The VoIP to the appropriate VoIP pipe, so will do streamed movies.
  • “Some people want the Congress make illegal for broadband company to bring such choices.” So according to the cartoon, keeping Net Neutrality stops people from downloading movies. Hopefully, there’s still some pretty good peer-to-peer file-sharing technologies out there.

Check the other movie to learn how content providers, big dotcom companies like Google or eBay, are just using people to fight for them and make money on them.

What do you think of all this?
