The Internet is a Series of Tubes
Just letting everyone know that our knowledgeable leaders in Washington, in weighing whether or not to essentially turn the internet into a pay-to-browse service, say they are doing it for our own good. Why? Well, ask Ted Stevens, the chairman of the committee that will bring this issue to a vote.
" It's a series of tubes.
And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially, tangled up in the tubes."
Yes, this is the man who will decide the fate of free internet access, someone I am very confident has never used the internet in his life.
It's a series of tubes! Now stop sending so many internets so I can access my internets through the tangly tubes.
