Pickard and Berman argue that we should not see internet service as a commodity but as a public good necessary for sustaining democratic society in the twenty-first century. They aim to reframe the threat to net neutrality as more than a conflict between digital leviathans like Google and internet service providers like Comcast but as part of a much wider project to commercialize the public sphere and undermine the free speech essential for democracy. Readers will come away with a better understanding of the key concepts underpinning the net neutrality battle and rallying points for future action to democratize online communication.Future series.Telecommunication policyHistoryUnited StatesUnited StatesfastUSAgndHistory.fastTelecommunication policyHistory384Pickard Victorauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1574500Berman David Elliotauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793870703321After Net Neutrality3850793UNINA
