How is the Internet organized? Is it a democracy? Or is it increasingly
controlled by large media corporations bent on limiting what people can do
or see on various websites? These are valid questions, and the Center for
Digital Democracy (CDD) is intimately involved with such matters. Founded in
2001, the CDD has worked on developing the campaign for an open broadband
Internet, along with leading efforts at the Federal Trade Commission "to
promote new polices governing online privacy and responsible interactive
marketing practices." Visitors can learn about these initiatives and others
through sections on the site that include "Current Projects", "Resources",
and "Issues". Actually, the "Issues" section is probably the best place to
start as it contains brief overviews about key issues such as broadband
access, journalistic integrity in a new media environment, and so on. Moving
on, their series of up-to-the minute news coverage on their homepage is also
very good and inspired guests should also look over the "Get Involved"
section. [KMG]<http://?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=ymdfwq781tpu#116250ca8f232ae2_team>

To change something, build a new model that makes the
existing model obsolete."
