Flow My Thoughts, The IT Professor Said

The Invisible Net

http://www.projectcensored.org/publications/2004/6.html

Summary of an article which views with alarm from a left-wing perspective the degree of concentration in the telecommunications industry, which in turn has the potential to throttle access to broad-band InterNet services. The alarm may well be real -- these companies have never acted in the public interest and represent corporate crassness at its most base.

But the idea that the whole Net is thus imperilled neglects the fact that dial-up still exists, and can easily continue doing so indefinitely. It may be "low and slow", but it still allows one to get the message out.
