On 26/5/07 9:26 AM, "Jan Whitaker" <jwhit at janwhitaker.com> quotes an
article3:

> Yesterday, many members of the SavetheInternet.com Coalition came

Provided, that is, your view of the Internet is still about some central
"producers" of information, ideas and "content" sending it all one-way to a
mass of "consumers" who passively absorb it, all identical.

True communication is only possible when the bandwidth is equal in both
directions, and unfettered. Everything else is propaganda. Discuss.

Happy Saturday,
