Folks do realize that those seeking to “privatize” our National Parks and public lands, like taking over the internet to make more cash per milisecond, will charge you about $50 for that 10 second view, and another $50 per log on to use the internet at above a crawl.
Neutrality means the public, NOT those fine, upstanding, not interested in screwing us corporate dudes, will retain controls, and access.
If you are a small US business trying to compete in an international market you are handicapped by monopolisticinternet service providers. I would like to see a return to capitalism and competition in the US and instead see two self-serving major political parties staging irrelevant controversies to avoid working in behalf on the people. http://mashable.com/2013/10/28/study-broadband-connectivity/
actually under the concept of net neutrality, it would be more like everyone is free to get their binoculars elsewhere and not just from the “Approved vendor” that the ISP allows.
It is the internet provider that is being regulated, not the user.
I haven’t really followed this net neutrality issue, because it’s a US issue, and here in Canada we more or less have net neutrality already, at least according to the Canadian commentators I’ve heard. I guess it’s kind of like single-payer health insurance — more of that northern socialism. We get by.
The comic is pattenly false misinformation. They should have a corporate person , your internet service provider, in place of the government offiical. It is hard to believe that people buy this misinformation.

We aren"t. Just give this a little time. The Lefties will set up so many restrictions that only their opinions will be be voiced.
