I must admit I've not really ever delved too deep into the whole 'free internet' debate.
For me it has always been a case of "I'm sure it's a worthy cause, but it's something for others to take care of." - which, I'll be honest, is a pretty easy position to occupy and has got a lot of people into a lot of trouble in the past.

Now, this really drove the 'net neutrality' debate home. How would you like to live in a world like that!
So while I still haven't read the full cases for or against as of today I am officially taking an interest. If anyone cares to join my quest for information why not try:
- Cluetrain author, David Weinbeger - Why Net Neutrality Matters
- Wikipedia - Network Neutrality
- Jeff Jarvis - Dangerous DoltsThreaten Our Internet
Technorati tags: net neutrality, free internet, David Weinberger, Jeff Jarvis
So you are not with Elton John then and think this whole internet thing should be closed down for five years in the aid of musical creativity?
