Summertime and Net Neutrality

"Summertime and the Livin' is Easy" ~ Porgy & Bess



It's summertime and our guard is down. What better time for something to be slipped by us! Is that what is happening regarding the issue of network neutrality?  The issue, in a nutshell, is whether the Net remains democratic in the sense that there is equal access and equal opportunity to write to it.

Who will control information?
