A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
• Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
• In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not. Blogger.com

Internet. . .”

Bridging the Divide• Businesses: Creating services & technologies for low-
access communities (BOP)• Non-profits: Teaching tech literacy, literacy in
general, supporting larger life infrastructure• Government: Expanding shared facilities (internet
kiosks, community centers)• Individuals:– MIT's Nicholas Negroponte ($100 windup laptop)– Indian Researcher Sugata Mitra (Hole in the Wall)

Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality: What is It?• Internet a commons - all websites pay same for
access to Internet• Net neutrality legislation maintains equal access to
information & requires Internet providers to keep access level
• Protects consumer's right to use any equipment, content, application or service on non-discriminatory basis w/o interference from network
• Provider network's only job to move data — not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service
![Page 40: Building Community: Social Networking Development and Implementation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814090550346895dac1ef4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Net Neutrality: Who Wants to End It?
• Major telecom companies (Comcast, Verizon, AT & T, Time Warner) want to tax websites or charge for enhanced speeds so sites will have to pay higher fee to load faster than other sites
• Telecoms maintain creating Internet “express lanes” will enable faster downloads of music, movies, etc. & alleviate online congestion
• Also say if tech companies pay for future upgrades needed to deal with increased web traffic, won't have to raise consumer rates to offset costs
![Page 41: Building Community: Social Networking Development and Implementation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814090550346895dac1ef4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Net Neutrality OpponentsWe have to make sure they don't sit on our network and chew up our
capacity. We need to pay for the pipe.
Ivan Seidenberg, CEO, Verizon
Now what they would like to do is use my pipes free, but I ain't going to let them do that because we have spent this capital and we have to have a return on it. So there's going to have to be some mechanism for these people who use these pipes to pay for the portion they're using. Why should they be allowed to use my pipes?
Ed Whitacre, CEO, AT&T

Why Do We Need It?
Pricing tiers could:• Stifle innovation (Why would iTunes innovate if could
afford to be in express lane?)• Limit access to bloggers, small businesses, non-profits,
YouTube, iTunes, political sites, any outlet couldn’t afford telecom fees
• Reduce democratic participation & free speech online if individuals also subject to fees
• Result in double-dipping: being charged for access to Internet & access to sites
