This is my attempt to introduce the rather dry sounding subject of "net neutrality" and the way the British government communications watchdog Ofcom seems to be ready to ditch it. As with so many civil liberties, the initial threats seem banal and unimportant, but once a principal has been overturned it's almost impossible to recover.
My concern is in the long term the loss of net neutrality will make it harder for newer, cash-poor media outlets to compete with the broadcasting giants.
