A boon to computer users, broadband has meant fast Internet services for
millions.  But as the phone and cable giants that operate these networks
conside the profits to be made by controlling the content and delivery of
the Internet, Net Neutrality - and the easy sharing of ideas and opinions
that goes with it - may soon become a thinking of the past in America.  In
this program, Bill Moyers and journalist Rick Karr report on the struggle
for the soul of the Internet as lobbyists and legislators reshape the
telecom laws for the broadband era.  Will democracy's high-tech forum for
the exchange of ideas be destroyed by regulations that favor online
entities with deep pockets?
