The Internet Must Go is〔 a 2013 independent docufiction short web film about net neutrality (the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should not favour either type of content over another〔), directed by Gena Konstantinakos. The film chronicles the journey of (fictional) misguided market researcher ''John Wooley'' (played by Second City alum Brian Shortall) as he attempts to sell ISPs' vision for what they call a "faster, cleaner" Internet.〔〔 However, learning about net neutrality from several (non-fictional) people in the process, he ultimately opts to re-consider his standpoint.〔〔 Designed specifically〔〔 to reach an audience not versed in technology or policy, ''The Internet Must Go'' has reached nearly a quarter of a million viewers and about 5k Facebook fans in its first 2 months online.〔 The release of the short was made to coincide with the opening arguments in ''Verizon v. F.C.C'' about Net Neutrality.〔〔 ==Plot== The docufiction short centers on John Wooley, a (fictional) market researcher who "has been dispatched to help the big Internet service providers sell their vision of a faster, cleaner Internet".〔 He embarks on the journey, believing he's doing something great and important. Over the course of his journey he interviews several people (notably non-fictional people whose business depends on net neutrality), who one by one help him to understand why his mission is misguided. Then he ventures to North Carolina where he interacts with (non-fictional) people who, stifled by a lack of broadband altogether, have attempted to build community broadband. However, he finds that North Carolina now has barriers to building community broadband. While he interacts with those people, he ultimately has a change of heart,〔 and decides to "leak" his research publicly to the internet, in favour of net neutrality. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Internet Must Go」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
