NPR Takes Up Net Neutrality: Part II

Logo_npr_125_2 Craig Newmark takes up the Net Neutrality issue in this second installment of the series from NPR. It's really very interesting for me to hear Craig (who I think can safely be assumed to fall on the "progressive" side of the political scale) highlight Net Neutrality as an opportunity for LESS government oversight, while the opposition is calling for MORE governement oversight. Way back in the olden days (1997), any conservative calling for MORE government oversight of ANYTHING would have been crucified.

It's an interesting political time we live in - where values don't seem to align with the traditional strategies anymore. What opportunities does that present us?
