Major telecommunications companies are spending millions lobbying the U.S. congress to make the Internet into a private network. In political lingo this mean abandoning what is called "Net Neutrality". In common sense terms it's about the government withdrawing our right to Internet Freedom. This V-Doc. (viral documentary) is about the current threat to Internet Freedom and how we can hold on to the open Internet and our right to communicate.
The only way the telecommunications companies will be successful is if we fail to raise awareness about this situation. If people find out about the fact that we are about to lose our Internet freedom there is no way they will allow congress to do this.
This congressional decision will set a monumental precedent, and thus, impact not just U.S. citizens, but citizens all over world.

Even if this did ... ( 1 month ago by Metalgod89)
Even if this did get made there would soon be a new network just like the internet and completely open. I don't think that these companies would stand by this new policy for more than a couple of years until they noticed that no one is going to buy into it and would much rather have a free internet

I doubt hackers ... ( 1 month ago by JudasPriest4644)
I doubt hackers could actually do anything. They would have to get access to the ISP, which is pretty hard. Hopefully I am proven wrong.
Yeah, hackers will ... ( 1 month ago by keenkwest2003)
Yeah, hackers will make sure they can access some kind of undetected sub-internet. You think they're gonna tell you that. Come on, do your part and hurt the company in the pockets. Everyone can boycott. Just cut the service until they give us what we need. That's privacy for us, and less invasion for the individual. It's in the constitution.
Internet speed ... ( 3 weeks ago by ROLPLAI)
Internet speed depends on what speed you pay for. A 1MB connection is limited to just that 1024kb per sec max. A 10MB connection is 10 times faster when downloading data, apps, videos, music. With a 10MB connection you can download a 5MB mp3 in a couple seconds. With a 1MB connection it would take minutes maybe 5-10 min if the 1MB connection is poor.
The new internet ... ( 2 weeks ago by Anonymous100011)
The new internet GRID = The possibility of Faster Speeds.
The GRID will be implemented on a cut over basis and replace the internet as we know it because everyone will want to be on the GRID because of its faster speeds and you will be charged to use and access it. They make it sound so good, faster speeds. A majority of people will move over to the GRID for this reason to get faster speeds. And the GRID will be controlled by the corporations the internet is a treat to them.

The internet's founding principles are saying that we should all be equal, all users should not have a unfair advantage over another, and this GRID is destroying all of this

I like how you all complain about how you're going to quit paying these fat ISPs until they go your way. Gas went up to $4 a gallon, and yet..I didn't see a difference in traffic flow. Still driving..still paying.. Same is going to happen with the Internet (Soon to be The Grid). Lets just hope we have a rebirth of another Internet. Rinse and repeat.
