Q&A Bill Moyers Bill Moyers By Harvey Blume [via Corrente]
Bill Moyers’ Documentary “Net At Risk” airs Wednesday, October 18 on PBS. See local listings.
MOYERS: The third documentary in this trilogy, ââ¬Ëââ¬ËThe Net at Risk,ââ¬â¢Ã¢â¬â¢ has nothing to do with faith. It is about the fact that 10 years ago Congress carved up the media landscape in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, allowing increased conglomeration of ownership. Almost nothing was known about it at the time. The big media companies didnââ¬â¢t cover it, and didnââ¬â¢t want it covered.
Now theyââ¬â¢ll be rewriting the Telecommunications Act. If the big companies have their way, in the dark of the night behind closed doors, they will gain the power to own not only the pipes of the Internet but what goes into those pipes. Giving control of content and access to big corporations will mean that the Internet, the most revolutionary democratic phenomenon of our time, where all of us are equal, will slip through our fingers. I did this documentary to say, Hey people, pay attention. Something is about to happen that will be very hard to change.
