Net Neutrality and the Struggle for the Open Internet is a critical cultural history of net neutrality that reveals how this intentionally "boring" world of internet infrastructure and regulation hides a fascinating and pivotal sphere of power, with lessons for communication and media scholars, activists, and anyone interested in technology and politics. While previous studies and academic discussions of net neutrality have been dominated by legal, economic, and technical perspectives, Net Neutrality and the Struggle for the Open Internet offers a humanities-based critical theoretical approach to net neutrality, telling the story of how activists and millions of everyday people, online and in the streets, were able to challenge the power of the phone and cable corporations that historically dominated communications policy-making to advance equality and justice in media and technology. 606 $aNetwork neutrality$xSocial aspects 606 $aInternet and activism 606 $aInternet$xAccess control$xSocial aspects 606 $aInternet service providers 606 $aPolitical activists 615 0$aNetwork neutrality$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aInternet and activism. 615 0$aInternet$xAccess control$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aInternet service providers. 615 0$aPolitical activists. 676 $a384 686 $aSOC052000$aLAW104000$2bisacsh 700 $aKimball$b Danny$f1983-$01280859 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910644046503321 996 $aNet Neutrality and the Battle for the Open Internet$93017547 997 $aUNINA
