#onward internet

Recently the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (a trade group representing ESPN, CNN, MTV and basically every other major cable network) secretly started a campaign called "Onward Internet". Onward Internet says that  "The Internet is a wild, free thing. Unbounded by limits, unfettered by rules, it's everyone's responsibility to ensure that the Internet continues to advance," which may sound cool, but is actually an anti-net-neutrality campaign funded by cable providers and channels, which is totally not rad. The campaign is geared to young people, but we know better than to trust the people who hate the internet the most.

So go to onwardinternet.com and put this in the suggestion box on how to "improve the internet":

Scheming anti-net-neutrality trade groups shouldn't masquerade as promoting fair use of the internet while supporting SOPA, representing cable providers, and advocating data caps in an attempt to gain support for their corporate agenda.

You can also tweet at them @Onwardinternet or call in and leave a message yourself (though I can't find the number right now).

Colored geometric pop extravaganza! — can I call it like that, can't I?

The project Onward Internet, is basically an internet suggestion box and this animation is a call for ideas from anyone who’s willing to share them about how they see the internet advancing and changing in the future. From the everyday to the absurd, they want it all.
