Bill Moyers keeps the documentaries coming: this Wednesday, October 18th PBS will air his program "The Net at Risk" (check local listings for times).

From the website:

The future of the Internet is up for grabs. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) effectively eliminated net neutrality rules, which ensured that every content creator on the Internet-from big-time media concerns to backroom bloggers-had equal opportunity to make their voice heard. Now, large and powerful corporations are lobbying Washington to turn the World Wide Web into what critics call a "toll road," threatening the equitability that has come to define global democracy's newest forum. Yet the public knows little about what's happening behind closed doors on Capitol Hill.

The Net is about to become the spoiled bully boys' personal tether ball, and sooner than you think. Yeah, you probably already know about it. But what will you do about it?

Q & A with Moyers via The Boston Globe may be of interest.
