Phileas #18 – Filler show – Net Neutrality

This is a special “filler” episode. Scheduling issues prevented the group from doing a regular show this time, so Patrick decided to go ahead and ramble on one of his favorite issues for half an hour: Net Neutrality.

That’s probably not the last time you hear about it, but it’s a good place to start. And if you want to learn more and do something about it, you can visit the “savetheinternet” website.

The illustration for the article is an “extreme” case of the “losing net neutrality” scenario, from Gizmodo.
