In John Wooley's hilarious 30-minute mockumentary The Internet Must Go,
he plays a marketing shill hired by the big cable operators and phone
companies to convince Americans to accept corrupt, non-neutral Internet
connections where your ability to reach sites and services online is
based on whether your ISP has a deal with the company offering it
Wooley's playing a Colbert-esque useful idiot, and he never breaks
character as he interviews Susan Crawford, Al Franken, John Hodgman, Tim
Wu, Larry Lessig, and many others, giving them the chance to play out
the arguments for a neutral, fair Internet. The climax is a visit to
North Carolina, where the big telcos have successfully gotten
legislation passed banning municipalities from offering high-speed
Internet, even in towns where the cable and phone companies have no
plans to offer high-speed connections.
