If you’re reading this you’re more than likely one of my closer friends and if you’re one of my closer friends chances are you’re pretty fond of the internet, technology and how both in combination can make your life easier, faster and more fun. As a former Linux zealot from my first install of Debian Slink in 1999, freedom is something I value. While I don’t enjoy the connotations of the angst riddled teenage rebel yelling “fight the power” that comes with campaign issues related to freedom, the Save the Internet campaign looks pretty worthy of everyone’s attention.

In essence what is being discussed is the issue of network neutrality and how the level playing field of free speech, cheap access and relatively low cost storage which currently defines the ‘net we know and love are about to be tossed aside in favour of an internet where ‘net presence is more pro rata in nature and only the big guns can afford high quality of service.
