Greetings. Is it possible to successfully demonstrate the concepts associated with the ongoing "Network Neutrality" debate in only 30 seconds, without doing oneself considerable physical or mental damage? Better yet, can this be accomplished using mainly props that can be found around the average household?

Well, I'm giving it the ol' college try, with a very short new video:

"Network Neutrality in 30 Seconds" (Part 1 - "Drowning the Competition")

Taking my usual inspiration from legendary filmmakers such as Ed Wood, Jr., I intend for this extremely brief "feature presentation" to be the first of a series of such bottom-rung cinematic shorts, all aimed at trying to untangle various aspects of Network Neutrality with a minimum of high-tech imagery. And as you'll see, ya' can't get much simpler than the demo in this vid -- though you can get a bit damp.

So without further ado:

Network Neutrality in 30 Seconds - Part 1 (Permanent YouTube Link)

Network Neutrality in 30 Seconds - Part 1 (Current Direct YouTube Link)

And don't worry, it'll all be over in less than a minute ...

Thanks as always.
