Subject: New Resource on Net Neutrality in Canada


Today marks an important day in the net neutrality debate in Canada.
With the launch of www.whatisnetneutrality.ca   (WiNN), Canadians have
a valuable resource with which to educate themselves about this
emerging concept.

While it sounds like an issue for experts, net neutrality is a debate
that will affect the future of communications in Canada for everyone.
WiNN aims to help Canadians understand this debate, and why it should
matter to them. We're not advocating a specific solution to the
debate. Our goal is to inform and educate Canadians about a poorly
understood and sometimes intimidating issue. Our lives depend on
communications, and the Internet is growing to encompass television,
telephone, journalism and entertainment. Net neutrality is a principle
that will shape this powerful communication tool.

Please visit the site and look around. The site touches on the
business, technology, and policy aspects of this issue. Each section
has short and detailed answers, depending on your interest. The
dictionary gives simple explanations of many of the regulatory and
technical terms in use. The blog will track any developments of the
debate in Canada.

This web site is a project of the Canadian Research Alliance for
Community Innovation and Networking (CRACIN), a research network
comprised of academics and community technology practitioners from
across the country. CRACIN is dedicated to community-based research
and innovation in the use of new information and communication
technologies to empower local communities.

While only available in English for the moment, WiNN will be
translated in coming weeks to be fully bilingual.

Thanks for your time,
Neil Barratt
