There was another artcile in the LA Times yesterday about how divisive the issue of net neutrality has been in the House.
Personally, I don’t get it. It’s a matter of regulation vs. non-regulation for big businesses. The only reason it shouldn’t be an issue at the moment is that there currently are no regulations and none of the net providers have been abusing that yet.
But since we live in a world where large companies do whatever they can to screw the consumer instead of simply making the best product or providing the best service (we have the slowest internet connections in the world). I guess this is because telecommunications and internet service providers aren’t really working in a competitive market.

Speaking of regulation and deregulation, I recently read leafed through a book entitled The Problem of the Media (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583671056/). If you’re interested in taking a bigger slice out of the communications pizza-pie, I’d suggest you pick it up. It’s dense and academic, but it’s got some pretty good stuff in it. I’ll let you read the preface – that should be enough for you to decide if it’s a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
(Note: If you’re my professor, what I meant to say was that I read the book entirely and hung on every word. Wow, was I ever razzle-dazzled.)
