I’m honored to be quoted at St. Louis Bloggers Guild!

There are many people who believe that neutrality doesn’t exist now, but who, like Jaelithe, support legislation to create an online environment where the free exchange of ideas does not ebb and flow according the pocket depth. Jason Butler, also a St. Louis blogger and a professional Web Producer, said,

“It’s been like that since the internets began, but as more people use bandwidth, telecom is concerned and wants to throttle it.”

Melody asked me if I could be quoted in an upcoming post at St. Louis Bloggers Guild. Had I but known which of my quotes would have been used, I would have left my out the ironic “s” on internet but I’ll stand by my statement as is!

Also, there’s much more to the entire net neutrality issue than can really be encapsulated in a brief direct message on twitter. The public is woefully unprepared for the future debates surrounding bandwidth throttling, packet sniffing, and all the other issues of a free (as in speech) and open internet(s).

Update: Edited because I suck at putting in blockquotes.
