Brad tells us more on this week’s show.

It’s pledge drive time at home station WEFT, which means guest John Anderson and I go a little more freeform than usual, assisted by WEFT station manager Mick Woolf. We spare you the hard-sell pledge pitches, and do get to discuss the Justice Dept’s push to get the Supreme Court to rule on indecency and why it’s so important to understand spectrum when looking at broadcast policy.

This past week was declared Open Internet Week by a coalition of citizens, public interest groups, tech companies, academics and activists, highlighted by the introduction of the “Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2008†(HR 5353). On this edition of the program we hear excerpts from two nationwide press conference calls outlining why and how Network Neutrality will be pushed to the top of the regulatory and legislative agenda this year. We also hear BitTorrent’s Eric Klinker explain how the technology the company is developing to better manage the traffic created by its commercial applications will also be extended to its open source protocol.

This week is a big news wrap-up, first looking at a new regulation aimed at controlling media ownership concentration in Canada. Then I review what’s at stake with the internet and net neutrality in 2008, which I think is going to be a big year in determining the future of independent media and communication on the internet.
