As a self-proclaimed arts policy novice (see my last Idea Exchange post) I felt I was very under-informed about net neutrality, which has now changed, drastically.  In my role as NAMAC intern, I have been doing quite a bit of research on arts policy and more specifically net neutrality – the idea that there should be no restrictions or priorities placed on the type of content carried over the Internet so that all traffic is treated equally by ISPs (Internet Service Providers).  An opportunity to put the research I was doing into action presented itself last Friday when I took part in a protest organized by MoveOn.org, Free Press, ColorOfChange.org and other advocacy groups regarding net neutrality at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, CA.
