Good point. I remember when I got cable internet back in 1999. Ah, the good ol' days..

I have a feeling that the ever increasing down pressure on the amount of information that is flowing over the internet.

When a corporate state cannot control over some thing, what happens?  If they continue to cut down the amount of bits flying over the internet from 250Gigs per month to 40 Gigs per month (the Beaumont, Texas Time Warner current experiment.) and any gigs over that is $1 per gig, what do you think would happen?

No, I do not think every connection should be a free fall download-p2p-1 Terabyte cable-dsl and there should be some control.. One of the problems with Comcast is the secrecy that they operate their network.  Time Warner and other unbelievable dsl providers that are limiting people.

So what do you guys feel about a corporate controlled Internet 2?

Check the link Avagdu.  I checked into the .m3u file and stream. There is no file uploaded to archive.org site.

Here's the correct one: http://www.archive.org/details/r4nger5R4nger5radio-Episode30_3

I just got my homebrewing podcast nixed over trying to tell the public about this.
(my fault) I wish we had more infowarriors doing more programs. I had subscribers in over 10 countries.
They do make a difference when it comes to free information.... but again back to the very beginning of the thread, the free information isn't enough. We need real action, and it does seem as though the bulk of the populace is content to pretend it isn't happening (whatever it is unless it's the next episode of fucking american idol)

Makes one feel occasionally hopeless and sometimes enraged... and sometimes just puzzled.
(p.s.- new podcast coming called NSR: Non-Servium Radio- I may have it up in a weeks time.)

Thanks, Man. The store owners had me pull the last episode that covered the death of the internet, and I still don't know if they are gonna force me to discontinue it altogether, but yeah, fuckit... I'll just move on into stronger territory.
I use a good MXL 990 mike w/ preamp into Audacity for the initial recording, Then I use Cubase SX3 for all the post production and mixing.
Glad you dig.

As far as internet consolidation goes- it is already being implimented.
NonServiam Radio pilot podcast will publish  1 hour after I get the last segment from diablo on the bail-out bags...
waiting...waiting...waiting.... tonight?

I recently did another homebrewing podcast to 'test the waters', as my employers were vague as to the finality of it... heee hee hee.
