Who could be against Net Neutrality? Mostly it seems to be those who are paid very well to be against Net Neutrality along with the KIND OF PEOPLE like of congressmen Gingrey and Wilson who we pay to be corporate whores AND stupid.
Here is an updated version of the article I wrote a couple years ago here called Net Neutrality Made Simple.
There is much confusion on this issue which I will try to make short and simple. Perhaps its best to think of it in terms of the "equal protection clause" of the 14th Amendment. It concerns the same KIND OF PEOPLE then as it does now.
A cabal of internet providers – namely the cable, satellite and phone companies want to charge whatever they please to whomever they please for whatever reasons they please for different degrees of internet service. With fiber optics on the horizon they wish to sell that and other proprietary services to the highest bidder with exclusive accounts.
This means Comcast / Time Warner can sell an exclusive FIBER ACCOUNT to Yahoo which they could then deny to Google. You and I click our Google icon and it takes a minute to come up but when we click on Yahoo it comes up instantly. Who you gonna call? Imagine that in all aspects of the web. And even more problematic, they can put all the small websites like this into the very slow lane killing us off.
Google, Yahoo!, Vonage, Facebook, Ebay, Amazon and Microsoft to name just a few are advocates for Net Neutrality. The opponents are the ISPs (Comcast / Time Warner / AOL) and Telecommunications companies (Verison / T Mobile) as is the extreme wingnut Cato Institute is a big player against Net Neutrality which should be enough to conclude than Net Neutrality must be good idea.
These companies already control congress, radio, television and the very air we wave in. This medium is all there is left to everyone on an equal basis. Help Keep it that way!
