Net Neutrality

[scaeagles]

From that description, I can not see how any rational person would want to be rid of net neutrality. However, that description is obviously slanted to get that reaction from readers.

The thing that makes the internet wonderful is the even playing field for the average joe blogger and the giant media conglomerate.

Anyone messing with the way various pages are accessed and the speed at which the data is transferred is no a good idea. Political speech will be stiffled. It won't be necessary to block any sites, just make the data transfer rate so slow that users won't want to wait the hours it takes to load web pages. Nothing good can come of that. It sounds a lot like the major media is trying to figure out how to take influence away from the little guy and regain some power they are obviously losing. They will have the ability to control content, just as they do on the major networks.
