Net Neutrality Update for April 2008 April 16, 2008
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Net Neutrality.trackback
We start the April update with MediaShift’s Guide to Net Neutrality by Mark Glaser. This guide will fill in any gaps you may have about the issues and what is at stake. In the interest of presenting an unbiased report, an argument for and one against Net Neutrality are both included. The article also includes a global take on the issue, since the Internet isn’t the exclusive property of any one country. There are also many helpful linked resources.
