Well, the FCC’s priority should be to make sure our internet’s backbone can handle emerging technologies that web 3.0 will bring such as HD Movies, streaming video and whatever else that we haven’t even thought of yet.

I do some advising for hands off the internet. Let’s make sure internet investment isn’t bogged down by the government’s hand.

While these types of lobbying efforts are very clever, the cleverness only serves to mask a basic fallacy in the argument. The video encourages viewers to not let “big media swallow up even more local outlets” because the public “wants more diverse voices and points of view”, yet studies such as the one that appeared in the LA Times have shown that media consolidation actually results in more diversity of programing and opinion. We are in an age when local broadcasters no longer simply compete with one another — instead they must compete with cable, satellite, numerous variations of radio, and the Internet for the advertising dollars on which they rely. Without the resources afforded by corporate franchising, these local stations stand little chance of survival and many would be forced to close their operations, depriving the public of an invaluable commodity and resource. And in the spirit of full disclosure, I do some consulting work with the NAB.

We demand net neutrality. No less. The FCC should be non partisan and protect the peoples rights concerning the airwaves we own not the corporations who pretend to own them.
