There are two short videos on net neutrality that you should check out. Both are intended to be motivational, activist pieces.
The first, Save the Internet, is a shorter, surface-level piece on the topic that is about 4 minutes.
The second, Humanity Lobotomy, delves more into how the current internet situation is in danger of following similar paths of prior media like newsprint and radio. People like Tim Berners-Lee and Lawrence Lessig (you should recognize him from readings you've had in this class) appear in the second one as well, which is about 10 minutes.
In total, these two videos are less than 15 minutes long, are pretty interesting, and certainly address an issue that you, as young citizens and Informatics students, should be concerned with.
I'd be interested in your reactions, too. I encourage you to write comments on this post about these videos and the topic.

great videos.
I can see why the phone corporations want to do it. They aren't evil just profit driven. When you reduce the phone companies to just infrastructure providers competition would increase, making them nervous.
