While I am by no means a seasoned investigative journalist, I have the good fortune to work with some. Looking ten years back I couldn't imagine a media organization considering geek qualifications a core part of an investigative team. In 2011, turning a geek into an investigative journalist is a no-brainer.

Irrespective of your personal feelings about WikiLeaks, the model it pioneered has challenged traditional journalism models and serves as a harbinger of change for 2011. WikiLeaks-esque tools supporting a new generation of whistleblowers are facilitating fundamental changes in the relationships among sources and journalists. These tools can disseminate exceedingly large amounts of information within remarkably short time frames and challenge journalists, who necessarily must utilize new technologies to vet, manage, source, and expose the needles in the haystack.

In one of Carl Sagan's writings he mentions that in the 1800's the average reader could read every book in something like 60 years.  At the time of the writing, he said it would take the average reader something like 1,000 years to do it.  With all of the information available, there seems to be no excuse for not staying up-to-date on the latest information on technology, telecommunications, the evolving media landscape, and all the other factors relevant to my professional life. Except for one small detail: There are only 24 hours in the day.

New America Foundation and the public interest organizations submitting these comments maintain that the Federal Communications Commission must act to preserve the open Internet, and that it should do so now. The record developed during this proceeding is clear, and the need for the rules proposed by the Commission becomes even more clear with each disclosure of additional broadband Internet access service provider misconduct. Content-based and application-based discrimination and prioritization threaten the structure and functioning of this transformative communications medium.

The rules proposed by the Commission are both necessary and narrow in scope. They focus on protecting subscribers from harms caused by the unique position occupied by broadband access providers. The rule thus would maintain the benefits of an open Internet not merely for subscribers, but for everyone using what has become critical infrastructure on which we all to some degree depend.
