1. This is the final battle...

If net-neutrality loses, we all lose.

Can you imagine what the 2000 election would have been like without the internet?

Coverage of electronic voting machines?
Coverage of Bush and 9/11?
Coverage of Iraq invasion?
Coverage of Abu Ghraib?
Coverage of waterboarding?
Coverage of Plame outing?
Coverage of health care "reform?"
Coverage of world economic meltdown?
Coverage of bank bailout?
Coverage of Wall Street bailout?
Coverage of BP oil disaster?
etc.etc.etc.

2. Combined with "corporations the same as individual donors"

...this is clearly a tactic to prevent any more Obama-like surges from a grassroots movement. Scary and dangerous.

4. Complete corporate control of information...

Scary and dangerous, indeed...:(

Oh, and welcome to DU! :hi:

3. i recently got the triple play

and found out that with the new modem that i received a faster internet connection. Unbeknownst to me they have already begun to have a tiered system. We should try to fight tooth and nail but the war has begun.
