Three Weeks to "Save the Internet"

[HaloFan85]

Following this week's news that FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is preparing a push to pass new rules that would allow the nation's internet providers to create a two-tiered, two-speed internet by allowing corporations to pay for privileged access to broadband "fast lanes," the group's opposed to the move are warning the American people that if they don't act quickly and aggressively, the open internet they know and love could be destroyed forever.

net neutrality is a tricky issue.

[red321]

It should be declared a utility and treated as such

Net neutrality might be a tricky issue but bending over to corporate donors is treason and should be a capital offense. If they're so special let them create their own net.

Yet another tax.

Enough already.

Can't wait for AW.com to load up 10x slower.  Not because the content of AW.com will take 10x slower.  But the bandwidth hogging ads will take 10x slower to load up.  

 

All the while the ISP will charge an arm and a leg so that you can load those ads up at normal speed.
