Doctorow Tears Up ISP Contract Over Net Neutrality

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."

Re:Why is Cory Doctorow so famous among geeks?

He started Boing Boing.

There, you guessed it all by yourself.

Seriously, I'm not saying Cory Doctorow is Vladimir Nabokov or Ted Lessing, but he's bright enough to have been able to make a living while giving away books he writes. Not all of them, mind, but some.

And (this is the kicker) he's smart enough to have created a web site that gets me to click in almost every day. I wasn't trying to say that he's genius-caliber, only that he was brighter than the poster to whom I was responding.
