PBS, (check local listings) Wednesday, October 18, 2006, 9PM, EDT
Teletruth’s Bruce Kushnick and Tom Allibone are featured in “The New Digital Divide” segment. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/net/neutrality.html
Moyers on America presents a new, serious investigative analysis of the future of broadband, the Net and media — from municipalities trying to Wifi or rewire their cities, to the large phone companies who claim that they ‘own-the net’ or large media concerns who have the power to take control of the information and stories you see and hear.
The program has been divided into four segments.
THE NET AT RISK
“The debate is hot, the language heady, the metaphors many. Op-ed pages alternately bemoan “The End of the Internet” or curse “Net Neutrality Nonsense.”
THE NEW DIGITAL DIVIDE
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/net/usworld.html
Teletruth is featured. Check out the video — “In Korea and Japan customers are getting 100 Mbps services in both directions for about $40 bucks” - (That’s 100 times faster than America’s DSL services.)
“America’s screwed,” says Bruce Kushnick, a telecom analyst. “I mean, we basically are becoming technologically deficient. We’re close to the dinosaurs compared to what these other countries are going to be developing in the next couple years.”
Other sections include:
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/net/community.html
“The Net @ Risk” takes viewers to Lafayette, Louisiana, where residents and officials took on their phone company, BellSouth, and their cable company, Cox Communications, and built their own high-speed fiber network after the firms refused to bring true broadband connections to their community.”
BIG AND BIGGER MEDIA
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/net/bigger.html
“In 1984 the number of companies owning a controlling interest in America’s media was 50 - today that number is six. Critics of media consolidation say it has led to fewer and fewer perspectives being presented — and a marked decrease in local news coverage.”
