OpenInternet.gov launches

21 Sep

Earlier today, I mentioned the FCC statements about an open internet.  While interesting, there isn’t much there to go on.  What I missed though was the launching of OpenInternet.gov.  OpenInternet.gov is a beta site who’s primary purpose is to bring the public into the discussion about how to go about this.

I’m going to follow this closely as it will have a large impact on what the Internet will be in the future.  Feel free to launch into the discussion as we need all the voices we can get involved in order to see this go well.

Also, it’s nice to see the Obama administration, at least through other government agencies, bringing the public into discussions in what appears to be a positive way.  Lets hope the FCC listens to those who this will affect, both consumers and businesses.
