FINALLY! For those that haven't been following the NN movement, Net Neutrality is the belief that the internet should be free to all consumers and not have your internet be monitored by your ISP.
Unfortunately for Comcast customers they discovered last summer that Comcast was limiting their usage of P2P programs such as Limewire and BitTorrent and then lying about it, saying "It was probably a technical glitch". But after extensive tests run by Carnegie Melon in conjunction with students from MIT, they found that Comcast was forging net connections which ended abruptly and stopped your download.
Comcast continued to deny it until Free Press dropped a lawsuit in their laps. The FCC agrees and will vote on the movement to fine Comcast for violating the Net Neutrality law.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The websites you know and love could soon become unavailable as quickly as 2010...unless you're willing to pay.
Comcast, Verizon and AT&T are literally spending tens of millions of dollars to lobby Congress to drop the internet in their laps and let them decide how to use it. That means that you would have to actually PAY to get to high traffic sites that those companies do not own. Which means DeviantArt, MySpace, Facebook, Gaia and YouTube would be come unavailable for users who do not want to pay.
Speak up, Speak out, Rally your representatives and save the internet.
