A More Neutral Net – Webcology on WebmasterRadio.FM (episode 40)
Earlier today, co-host Dave Davies and I covered the Net Neutrality debate on our weekly WebmasterRadio.fm show, Webcology.
Dave and I have taken a special interest in the issue of Net Neutrality and have done a number of shows about issues surrounding the debate. Last week at Search Engine Strategies San Jose, Dave and I squared off against each other taking opposing sides of the issue in a shortned, hour-long panel debate.
This morning, Dave published an excellent piece in the Expert Articles section of WebProNews, “What in the World is Net Neutrality?”
We both have fairly strong feelings about Net Neutrality or, in Dave’s case the argument against Net Neutrality. Though we each understand and can articulate the others’ side. It is a complicated issue which at times poses challenges to one’s sense of philosophy, business, fairness and accountability. The one absolute certainty I have in the entire debate is the fact that the ‘Net is changing rapidly and our traditions and legal systems must to race faster and learn far more to understand and make informed decisions.
That means we the “experts” are responsible for educating decision makers. (That means all of us, by the way.) In that spirit, we are interviewing representatives from both sides of the issue every few months. Today, we interviewed Timothy Carr from FreePress and SavetheInternet.org/. Here is the show in its entirety. (note: the first 25-minutes are an off-the-cuff round-up of SES SJ)
