Little bit of my own activism here.

http://www.fcc.gov/contact-us - If you care, send your feedback. Without your action, expect this government to sell you down the river to large corporate interests as they always do. Obama doesn't care, he isn't going to help you.

As I understand it, new rules would allow preferential treatment, and that means patrick.net and others will slow down over time, while some large corporation .com will be fast.

Good post. Net neutrality is important.

Simple solutions?
Do not click on any adds.
Stay off of as many sites as possible,withhold that click.
Do not purchase anything from any company on the net or their physical location.

When you get into someone's wallet,you've got their attention & they will make a change or they won't get any "change".

Damn! I don't know why I have to make everything so complicated.

Wishful thinking never got anyone anything.

Undermining net neutrality is simply those who made it under a fair playing field trying to make the field no longer fair so that no competition can ever challenge them.

Where the fu__ is Google fiber?!

I know we'd be trading one monster for another, but it's time for a fresh monster.

Comcast is today's equivalent of the railroads in 1870.

Is Comcast worse than Bank of America? Are both worse than realtors?

It's simpler. With fast lanes internet is going to become a toll road, it'll be an artificial entry barrier you'll have to pay the cable companies in order to compete.

Which is why I don't like the idea.
