Doctorow Tears Up ISP Contract Over Net Neutrality

Posted by kdawson on from the schedule-2-numbers-1-j-and-k dept.

Burz writes "As a reaction to Virgin Media CEO's promise to violate the concept of net neutrality, Cory Doctorow is declaring his ISP contract void, canceling the service, and calling on other Virgin customers to do the same. He isn't alone. Charlie Stross counts the ways the gang that became Virgin Media is trashing Sir Richard's brand. Myself, I am thinking of stopping my Virgin Mobile service in protest."

    Cory Doctorow, editor of Boing Boing, a blog which censors comments from their readers, not for anything controversial but for being "impolite," is crying because Virgin is interfering with his access to the web.

    Pot, meet kettle.
