letter from Ebay - what's happening with Internet?

[winter]

This thread is filled with um, interesting posts.

Just thought I'd mention that as far as I know, internet2 has nothing to do with net neutrality at all.

Here's some light reading for those who want it:

Quote from nbates:

Once we get Gore back in the Whitehouse, he'll take care of all...remember, he created the Internet!

Gore will be in the White House within 8 years. He's our only hope to stop the interests of big business. His campaign against global warming is unstoppable because scientists themselves don't really agree on it, but it's the kind of global-macro issue that can get people concerned in the right way. If any of the right-wingers come out against global warming, we can then deal with them as insensitive, or racist. That usually sends them packing.

After the people are educated on global warming, we can slow down big business. Then we won't have to watch the rich and powerful preening on TV every night, and driving around in their SUV's.

You can't disprove something that may not be real in the first place. If we can get the Republicans to wrestle with this ghost (global warming), we can get on to the real issues we'd like to bring forward - like halting the Republican tax cut schemes.

You are somebody who doesn't spend one second to minimize his tax during the tax season. Yeah right. You are a posturing you know what?
You are full of shit just like Soros or Buffet preaching about higher taxes and at the same time structuring their business endeavors in a way to avoid the tax bait as much as possible.
I love these idiots.

Just felt like this needed repeating, just for the entertainment value. Hillarious Stuff!

"Im Against Global Warming! Im Also Against the Tilt of the Earth's Axis! For the love of God, SOMEBODY do something!"

Quote from Madison:/arch28

thanks for the lesson.

the major media companies are an oligopoly, and some have total monopoly power in different regions. further, they have enormous lobbies and legislative influence.

that situation does not lend itself to "capatilism," much less to the free market-style competition you seem to be confusing it with.

Thoughtful /observant points;
especially with big newspapers, which own some BIG tv stations.

Ever looked @TRB sector persistant downttrends?????

However overall media is much .much more diversified than ever;

Much more diversified than when CBS,ABC NBC ruled the roost.
