Allen Weber’s Take On The World

Do You Want Some Corporation Dictating To You What You Can And Can’t Do On The Internet

Think it can’t happen? Well, it’s happening every day more and more. Especially if you live in the USA. Comcast is being sued for limiting peoples use of the internet. Other companies will soon be sued too.

When I heard about the Comcast case, I was happy. Rather than fighting spam which clogs up pipelines, they choose to limit the freedoms of their users. They restrict the bandwidth, and sites their users can go to.

I ask you… Is this right?

You pay for access to the internet. You are not paying an internet service provider for the right to have them dictate to you where and where not you can go on the net. You are not paying them to restrict your ability to create blogs, create pod casts, create videos and to post them.

But they are trying to do just that…

Do You Want Your Freedom To Post And Express Yourself On The Internet Limited By Your ISP?

I didn’t really believe this was possible, until after I read a post on a blog of a genius marketer Dean Hunt. Actually Dean has two blogs I read, http://deanhunt.com with his great Killer Bunnies, and fantastic insights. I only wish he lived around here so we could hang out together. And if you are not reading his blog… you should. It’s really funny, interesting, and insightful. A great break from all the drivel that’s out there… this blog included.

But I found out about ISP’s doing their best to limit our use of the internet on another of Dean’s blogs… called http://streetlessons.com a blog on marketing, by Dean Hunt and Barry Dunlop

They had a post there called…

Net Neutrality | Must Watch Video

It has a video from youtube. This video is a Must Watch

So Here it is

Enjoy and get really pissed off. Angry enough to write to your Senator, your Representative in congress. And badger them until… finally… they see the light. And they take action and stop the telephone companies from dictating how you can use the net, preventing competition on the net, dictating what you can see on the net, and destroying your voice to create your own content and enjoy and learn about others content.

Thanks For Reading!

Now go out and take some positive action.

Here is a list of Senators in the Congress of the United States

You can find your senators contact information. After you find it… use it. Keep your ability to find and create information free.

Here is a list of the members of the USA House of Representatives

Find your member and badger them about this until they take some action. We elect them. This is an election year. They need your vote to stay in office.

You can find them using the upper left hand side and look up your representatives office and contact information by entering your zip code.

Good Luck. Together let’s make some noise!
