VIDEO | Marc Ash Interviews Bill Moyers Part III: "The Net at Risk"
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/101606Q.shtml
The future of the Internet is up for grabs. Last year, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) effectively eliminated net neutrality rules,
which ensured that every content creator on the Internet - from big-time media
concerns to backroom bloggers - had equal opportunity to make their voice heard.
Now, large and powerful corporations are lobbying Washington to turn the World
Wide Web into what critics call a "toll road," threatening the equitability that
has come to define global democracy's newest forum. In Part III of our
interview, Marc Ash spoke to Bill Moyers about this important issue. Moyers on
America: "The Net at Risk," airs Wednesday, October 18, on your local PBS
station.

Doesn't sound like a comprehensive and balnced insight into the "net neutrality" issue. Although Moyers has done some great reporting in the past, given his views on similar media issue, I'm guessing this one will be biased.

I will be interested to see the special, but I'm on the other side of this issue, working with the Hands Off the Internet coalition. This is a serious and importnant issue that needs to be examined from both sides.
