Net neutrality is a corporate scheme by certain companies to make sure that all traffic on the internet is treated equally, this scheme, corporate by design, and corporate to the core, allows these companies to fleece great Internet Service Providers of the costly bandwidth that they should by right be allowed to control.
Internet Service Providers provide a great service to all internet users, and while the US government allowed them to lay fiber all across the country at low rates, and indeed, helped subsidize their creation, they deserve every right on this planet to charge whatever they want for various services.
The President has fallen to the whims of such corporations as airbnb, Amazon, AOL, auction.com, eBay, Etsy, Expedia, facebook, GILT, Google, Groupon, IAC, LinkedIn, lft, Monster, Netflix, Pandora, practice fusion, rackspace, reddit, salesforce, Sidecar, SurveyMonkey, tripadvisor, Twitter, Yahoo, yelp, uber, zynga, About.com, Ask.com, Dictionary.com, flicker, half.com, Hotels.com, Match.com, okcupid, PayPal, redlaser.com, StubHub, and vimeo. Their corporate hold over the President as a sellout to wall street and the domination of corporations over our highly valued internet service providers is a disgrace.
Shame on you Mr. President for falling for the whims of the corporations and forcing the FCC to implment net neutrality. Shame on the Democratic chairpeople on the FCC for voting for net neutrality. This will destroy the internet as we know it, if only for the likes of Amazon and Google and AOL and eBay and Twitter, those corporate overlords will continent to erode our freedom to be fleeced by ISPs.
If it's not obvious.
