Legendary WORLD WIDE WEB co-inventor Tim Berners-Lee speaks here to a free and open Internet.

With “Net Neutrality” under siege and an FCC vote scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, December 14 may go down in history as a pivotal day in the ongoing struggle between our Commons and the US Empire.

Here’s a link to Lee’s statement,  and the “money” paragraph:

I want an internet where content businesses grow according to their quality, not their ability to pay to ride in the fast lane. I want an internet where ideas spread because they’re inspiring, not because they chime with the views of telecoms executives. I want an internet where consumers decide what succeeds online, and where ISPs focus on providing the best connectivity.
