A Primer on Network Neutrality
Hi everyone! Today's selection is a podcast from the good folks at Freepress.net, who publish a weekly podcast series called "Media Minutes". In this podcast, John Anderson and Kimberlie Kranich provide some important background material about the topic of network neutrality. This podcast was posted to the web on 20 January 2006 at:

The show notes included:
"A primer on network neutrality: what is it, how does it work, why is it important – and why are phone and cable companies so opposed to it? And Indiana becomes the latest battleground in the fight for the right of cities and towns to build out their own broadband networks."
I want to thank Richard James, of Columbus State Community College, for suggesting this selection to me. He wrote "As you may have read on my blogs, it concerns me that I do not hear educators talking about this." See:
