I agree that the discussion on the network needs to move to the general public sphere. In the age of the sound bite and micro-attention spans, the details we focus upon become crucial. Distilling the ideas into bite size pieces is extremely difficult, particularly because viewpoints vary, even among net neutrality policy wonks, geeks and activists. Take for example, saveaccess.org's National Day of Out(r)age set for tomorrow. They present five objections. In spirit, I agree with their ideas on tiered pricing, privacy, lobby reform, and proganda. (Although, the extent of the agreement is, as you say, all in the details.) I am less inclined to agree with them on the idea that the AT&T and SBC merger is a bad idea because jobs will be lost. While I have do have empathy for people who lose their jobs, this concern obfuscates the discussion on open and fair access to networks and open competition among telecommunications firms.
