Unfortunately, this principle is under serious attack. Today, carriers AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon are actively lobbying policy makers to privatize the Internet and its content. This signals the beginning of the end to a nation of bloggers, application developers, and content creators. It means a radical increase in pricing for access to the Internet, with radically fewer services.
