Net Neutrality
I attended the Net Neutrality rally downtown this week. This is the first protest at Parliament Hill that I’ve ever been to. Primarily because it was the first time they have ever been protesting something that I actually cared about.
What is Net Neutrality?
It’s the idea that internet traffic and content should flow freely without interference from those that run the networks. This could be referred to as the high-tech equivalence to freedom of speech.
I was personally there to show support for our smaller Canadian ISPs and help stop the restrictions being put down by the larger industry oligopolies. This can be clearly seen in Bell Canada’s Internet Traffic-Shaping efforts.
There’s Ben front row center showing his support along with about 200 others including ISPs, the media, members of parliament, the general internet using public and the Server North team.
