NET NEUTRALITY ACT: SEN. DORGAN EXPLAINS LEGISLATION TO PRESERVE THE OPEN INTERNET S.215, the Internet Freedom Preservation Act, sponsored by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) seeks to ensure the openness of the internet is protected against attempts by major telecommunications providers to segregate internet content and to charge for visibility. Sen. Dorgan explains how such business strategies would have a chilling effect on free expression and innovation.

Sentido anticipates increasing convergence between moving and broadcast media and the static, readable internet. It is with this in mind that we have begun planning the launch of a "Sentido TV" digital platform for online posting and reader download of moving news footage and reporting.

Sentido's aim to extend its service into broadcast format multimedia stems from the belief that information is valuable in itself and that providing information over multiple channels liberates the audience that consumes such information. Sentido will not reduce its textual offerings, but will provide enhanced complementary audio-visual coverage of key stories.
