Public Knowledge has generated a hit on YouTube. The public interest group posted a video regarding net neutrality on the hot video sharing site, and as of 3:15 today, the video was ranked 11th most popular for the day and has garnered 28,055 views over the past two days.
The video is well-done, but I was amused by some of the potential dangers illustrated. For example, the video posits a hypothetical degradation of Google by the broadband provider in favor of a search engine the broadband provider itself might prefer…such as Yahoo! It’s true that Yahoo! has locked down deals with AT&T, BellSouth and Verizon to be the preferred portal provider, even though Yahoo! is on the record in some cases as favoring net neutrality regulations.
The comments on the video are also funny. One commenter named Insertcoolname asked
wow, is that legal? screwing with your connection like that? WHERE’S MY FREAKIN CONGRESSMAN!
