Zee and all,
This strikes me as a complicated set of moving pieces - and
one that anyone providing assistance to the nonprofit
community ought to have on their radar.
I'd strongly recommend anyone interested to keep their eyes
on a handful of websites - and to remember that you'll want
to read widely (if possible!) from both sides of the bench!
It would be easy to characterize this as a black and white,
good and bad decision - and a hasty leap to either of those
conclusions probably won't help a lot.
For information about Certified mail, I'd read:
www.goodmail.com
www.dearaol.com
www.eff.org
For information on Net Neutrality, I'd read:
www.savetheinternet.com
www.eff.org

Subject: (ISF) Slightly OT: Net Neutrality /
"GoodMail"
I've read a bit about Net Neutrality (though almost
certainly not as much
as I should), and on its face it seems like a good thing.
What confuses
me is that I see a lot of the names on the NN bandwagon also
backing the
GoodMail thing, which seems to be the exact antithesis of NN
-- paying
extra cash to ensure that your bits get there before someone
else's. Am I
missing something?
Thanks,
s
