"Barbershop Punk"

"Barbershop Punk"

We learn about a film that explores the complex debate about "network neutrality" through the eyes of a barbershop quartet aficionado who took on telecom giant Comcast.

Few tech debates are as wonky as the fight over "network neutrality" -- a battle over how information is allowed to travel on the information superhighway. In 2007, music fan Robb Topolski stumbled into a net neutrality fight with Comcast -- the nation's largest cable provider. We talk with a filmmaker whose new documentary examined the dispute and explore what's at stake for average Internet users in the future.
