El padre de Internet defiende la neutralidad de la Red

El creador de la World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, ha asegurado hoy que el "riesgo" de que tanto "los gobiernos como las grandes empresas" intenten controlar la tecnología de la red de redes "siempre existe", por lo que ha incidido en que la sociedad debe defender una Red "neutra".

"La tentación para los gobiernos de controlar algo tan poderoso como Internet es enorme", ha añadido Berners-Lee, quien ha participado en la primera conferencia de la duodécima edición de la Campus Party, inaugurada a medianoche ante los cerca de 6.000 campuseros que hasta el próximo domingo navegarán a una velocidad de 7,5 gigabytes y compartirán los últimos avances en informática.

Berners-Lee ha señalado que la importancia de que Internet sea "neutra" radica en que "es una infraestructura fundamental para la libertad y la democracia". Debería ser, a su juicio, "un derecho fundamental" y lo ha comparado con el agua potable como un bien del que "no te preocupas de dónde viene", en referencia a la existencia de múltiples proveedores.

También ha destacado que el futuro pasa "por la web semántica", la cual estaría dotada de más significado y permitiría que los resultados de las búsquedas de los usuarios se correspondiesen con más exactitud a sus peticiones.

"Tendremos más cuidado porque habrá muchos más datos por la Red, y queremos que esos datos los puedan utilizar los amigos, el hospital o el seguro de enfermedad, pero no la policía", ha precisado Berners-Lee, quien ha preferido no pronunciarse al ser interrogado sobre los derechos de autor y su protección en Internet.

Hemos ganado. Se acabo el que las compañias quieran quitarnos el privilegio de usar la red como nos de la gana. Como yo firme en la web www.savetheinternet.com me mandan boletines informativos al email, y acabo de recibir ahora mismo este:



Dear Silvia,
The FCC just voted to punish Comcast for violating Net Neutrality

Join the Open Internet Movement​

Your hard work is paying off! Just one hour ago, the Federal Communications Commission voted to punish Comcast for violating Net Neutrality and blocking your right to do what you want on the Internet.
This win is yours. Defying every ounce of conventional wisdom in Washington, activists, bloggers, consumer advocates and everyday people have taken on a major corporation and won.
Today's vote at the FCC is also a precedent-setting victory that sends a powerful message to phone and cable companies that blocking access to the Internet will not be tolerated from this time forward.
News of this win is now being covered by every major news outlet as a turning point for Net Neutrality. Many more people are discovering our people-powered movement for a free and open Internet.
We need to capitalize on this momentum to grow the movement and ensure that Net Neutrality is protected on all 21st-century networks. Help us send a message to this Congress -- and the next one:

Join the Internet Freedom Movement: Stand Up and Be Counted​

In the past two years, more than 1.6 million of you have already contacted Congress and the FCC. But that's not all. You have sacrificed time and energy speaking out at town meetings, collecting signatures on street corners and on campuses, and spreading the word via blogs, Facebook and house parties.
With your help today, signing this letter and forwarding it to friends, we can increase our ranks to more than 2 million.
Today's FCC victory is a milestone, but our work is far from done. Companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon are continuing to fight Net Neutrality using lobbyists, lawyers and campaign contributions. These special interests should not be allowed to set Internet policy for the nation.

Tell Congress: Keep the Internet Open for Everyone​

The Internet's true greatness lies in those of us who use its level playing field to challenge the status quo, create and share new ideas, take part in our democracy and connect with others around the world -- without permission from any gatekeepers.
With your help and commitment, today's win will be just the first of many to protect innovation, free speech and democracy on the Internet.
Thank you!

Viene a decir que se le acabo el rollo a Comcast, se le ha prohibido (el gobierno se lo ha prohibido) que ponga limites en el internet segun lo que la gente pague, hacer eso seria ilegal y por tanto estaria condenado al ser un delito. Asi que felicidades a todo! Se acabo el miedo!
