Reality Check, Open the Net
Center for Media Justice - Non-Profit - www.centerformediajustice.org
Despite efforts of Telco's to control the Internet, they remain a favored big business. Pouring millions of dollars of donations into non-profit organizations in the communities they serve hasn't hurt either. Thus the average person is hard-pressed to recognize the false choice they sell--between broadband investment in underserved communities and rules to preserve online independence. We'd like to create a simple viral video for our Campaign for Internet Freedom playing on the famous 1984 Apple commercial, dispelling the social marketing myths of these companies, and offering a vision of the Internet that is hopeful and possible.

I can't afford the internet right now and I am also in school which makes it really hard. Also, it seem that everything is on the internet right now. I feel disconnected from the world and that I'm the last to know.

Free Range could be really helpful in creating a campaign or video on the net neutrality/Internet Freedom issue. It's complex and wonky but sooooo important to the future of the Internet as we know it.
