thank you for this clear, concise and accurate message. must spread it.
Well said David…Hurrah for our side.
Hey Richard,
Nice job on this. I especially liked a lot of your edits. Fun AND informative.

Well,
That was the first time I’ve actually seen The whole Net Neutrality thing explained in a way even the plain jane end user can begin to understand. Thanks for letting me be part of it.
Cheers!

That was awesome, Richard! Great cause, great delivery. I can even see how Ze Frank is inspiring your editing!
I also like how you used your “Dr.” title with your representative. Contacting politicians is one of the only times I use my “U.E.” title (United Empire Loyalist title… opposite equivalent to D.A.R.)
Keep fighting the good fight!

Hell man, the internet isn’t a big dump truck that you can just load stuff onto! Don’t you know it’s a series of tubes where things can get stuck and totally ruin things?
I’m expecting to get my new internet sent to me sometime next week..
But seriously, very nicely explained, I liked it a lot.
I’m so glad we don’t have any of this crap here in Sweden.
You might be interested in knowing that a darknet has been started here (an encrypted VPN tunnel) which can be used by anyone for a small fee.

I have been hearing a lot of the fringes of the net neutratlity thing, but until today, never understood what they were talking about. Thanks for putting in words that even a silly little pagan can understand. I shall sacrifice a goat in your honor…. (kidding, we don’t do that)
[…] Richard and his Wife, at The Richard Show, have made a pretty informative video that illustrates what’s at stake regarding the issue of Net Neutrality. While Richard’s discussion addresses issues relevant to the Internet users in the United States, it’s still worthwhile for Canadians like myself to understand what’s going on – it’s already an issue we should already be hearing more about in Canada. You can watch it here. […]
I just hate the letters I receive from my Representatives when I write them about stuff that’s important to me. Condescending, as though they have to set me straight on the issue, when what they are really doing is dismissing my point of view. I think we need to bitch slap the lot of them and remind them what the word “representative” means. Thank you for the insightful debunking of your rep’s position (or rather, the position of the corporations who can afford to give her a lot of money). I think you’ll help a lot of folk understand what’s at stake. I teach at a community college and I am assigning all 100 of my students to watch your video and write about it. Cheers to you!
Thanks for the well explained, informative perspective on Net Neutrality.
Great job! thanks for bringing in the analytical perspective to cut through the political BS.
Richard, very well put together. This is a subject that is not easily explained. I’ve been trying to come up with a visual/video metaphor to explain this in under 30 seconds. It’s a complicated issue, and one I don’t think many people take the time to understand. You did a great job explaining it in layman terms, simplifying it and breaking it down to the most obvious issues.
Well done, Richard. You took a sticky, hard to explain topic and put it into an easier to understand format (and the facial expressions are priceless…!). I still don’t think it should be legislated either way but I wholeheartedly agree with your presentation of the issue of net neutrality (as opposed to Net Neutrality). Keep those politicians at bay!
as so many have stated above already, great job helping us understand this important issue better! thank you.
now about those richardshow t-shirts…ever since my husband put his on, he’s been pooting away! is there a remedy to this awful gas? is this what everyone can expect? do you accept returns? any products you have/could suggest to address this? any other reports of gaseosity from wearing your t-shirts? it IS organic cotton (made in the USA)…maybe that’s the problem…
I’m pretty confused, because I thought of this as a value add … most Richard Show fans think of this as a plus … I had to pay extra for the flatuance facilitation material
That was really great, Richard. Thanks for adding to the net neutrality convo. I love ya man, you know I do.

[…] Richard also gives a comprehensive explaination on his Show… the RichardShow […]
Brilliant show… your summary of Net Neutrality is the most researched and comprehensive I’ve seen so far… great job!
So I added it to my post: http://mid4.net/2006/08/20/senator-explains-net-neutrality/
so that people can understand the issue properly before having a laugh at the Senator’s more detailed explaination 
Well explained. Thanks!
hey yo,
love the zefrank style camera work !
best,
mason
Richard – this was great! Thanks so much for sending me this link I hope you don’t mind, but there was some great stuff in here, I’d like to possibly use in a cut of the ‘net neutrality project’.
[...] I’m not sure where I first heard about the net neutrality concept (as described by Tim Berners-Lee who invented the World Wide Web), but, I really became drawn into the issue emotionally, since the violation of net neutrality, seemed like it could have a huge negative impact on video blogging, which, of course, I’m passionate about. Being a professor and all, I was forced to have to study the subject in a lot more detail, and, of course, at one point I made a video about it, which was a response to a letter from Jo Ann Emerson, our U.S. representative , which was her response to my email urging her to support the Markey Ammendment, which supported network neutrality. Eventually, the St. Louis dispatch even included me in a story they did on network neutrality, which was cool. [...]
