The Sweet Sound of “Freedom”
Payday loans are available because consumers have the freedom to choose how they will address their short-term financial issues between paychecks. The Internet remains free because many people still have the freedom to choose how will will jump into the information stream.
You surf, I surf, we all surf
When we surf the Internet, there is much we take for granted. We assume we will have free access to any Web site we want, whenever we want, at the fastest possible speed. We assume that we can watch streaming video, listen to podcasts and send instant messages without anyone else’s permission. If you needed permission to access no fax payday loans, how many people would stand by while their freedom of choice is tread upon?
This is Net Neutrality, and it is what we have come to expect in America. We expect a free and open Internet; Net Neutrality prevents Internet Service Providers from blocking or altering the delivery of content based on its source, ownership or destination. With Net Neutrality, the network moves data without imposing judgment upon it.
Obama supports net neutrality; big telcos do if profit is there
The president-elect’s team is committed to net neutrality. His plan for America includes a detailed schematic for his vision of technological innovation, to which a strong Internet backbone is vital.
In light of recent developments from Google where they approached major cable and telephone companies in what appeared to be a campaign to push their content over everyone else’s, The Wall Street Journal theorized that Obama had backed off his net freedom plan.
Not so, says Obama’s camp. And the newspaper hadn’t even bothered to contact them for comment.
Obama supports freedom of information
Net neutrality activist Timothy Karr of Save the Internet at http://www.savetheinternet.com writes in the Huffington Post that Obama’s support for net neutrality is consistent with his methodology throughout his career:
The president-elect has made numerous public statements on the campaign trail and published a detailed policy document placing Net Neutrality as his top priority. He’s explicitly opposed paid “quality of service” arrangements and was also a co-sponsor of the Dorgan-Snowe bill that is the strongest Net Neutrality legislation ever proposed.
Freedom of information, freedom of financial choice
If Obama has his way, not only will America still have access to information on the World Wide Web, but the speed and means by which we access it will improve dramatically. Areas of the country that are not well-penetrated by broadband access will be opened up, and we will all come that much closer together.
Financially, consumers who are ready to stand up for their right to choose will help ensure that their elected officials know how valuable payday loans have been for them. Their voices will keep yet another essential freedom within reach for those in need.

Net Neutrality is good provided people take into consideration humour, fear mongering, and plain old bull shit. Common sense people!
hope it works out for the best.
Interesting stuff about net neutrality.
Ahh nice to see this. It probably would have been a bit different had McCain been elected (who apparently has never sent an email…?).
interesting
Interesting info on net neutrality. Hadn’t heard of the issue before.
Excellent article.
Freedom is one of the key cornerstones of this great country! So, how could we limit freedom of information and choice?
Freedom is what makes our country significant. Our ability to choose what we do and how we do it provides a form of production in our nation. However, what you do and how you do it can also structure where you go and where you end up. We have a fine opportunity in our hands, and how we choose to use it determines how far we will go – upwards or downwards.
I’m glad that Obama supports the right and freedom to choose. It leaves the choice to the individual whether to pursue information that they aquire on the WWW
Very interesting I really hope by enacting this more people will be able to access the internet and do it faster than ever before. I know from personal experience that if you can’t get on the internet it becomes very annoying very quickly!
Made for very interesting reading!
Broadband for everyone.
thank you for replying to this article and i too wish broadband could be given to everyone it would make life a lot easier!
we take freedom for granted until there is no more
History has shown everyone does take freedom for granted. It’s hard to get others to realize this until they have had their freedom taken away though.
We should all have the freedom to make our own choices in a democratic society!
