[Ta3m-Seattle] Net Neutrality Town Hall

[Paul English]

Hey folks, new TA3M organizer Michelle mentioned this:

Tomorrow, 11am

Net Neutrality may not seem to directly bear on privacy per se, but it 
definitely impacts freedom, the digital divide and the power 
monopolistic/duopolistic ISPs can exert over us.

Personally, I'm also a big fan of muni broadband (ie: treat the internet 
like the utility it is - hopefully Seattle can do a less bad job than 
they've done with SCL!), not just for Seattle but for many (most? all?) 
cities in the state (I understand coops may work better for rural 
settings). This Town Hall might be a good opportunity to ask pointed 
questions about state-level support for muni broadband. Muni broadband 
does NOT solve the issues of global (or US-wide) net neutrality, but can 
help with net neutrality, privacy, competition, digital divide and balance 
of power.
