I did a quick search and noticed that the last article on net neutrality was over two years ago. In the IT world, a lot can happen in two years. So, I’m curious as to the current consensus on net neutrality.
I bring this up because I just read an article on the Consumerist about AT&T sending a letter to its employees, asking them to oppose net neutrality. Hence the reason it’s on my mind at the moment.
This article made me bristle at first. I’m one of those people who thinks that the 1st Amendment extends to the freedom to share ideas without interference by outside parties. Unless you happen to be at your place of business. Then freedom and openness should be squashed like the virus-laden bug it can become.
Now, I figure there’s no more group of educated, opinionated technologists then us here at TR, so I figure I’ll throw this out there and see where people stand.
