Net Neutrality

[caveman]

Ok, so I didn't really believe this till I googled it and there seems to be a lot out there about this subject.

Apparently there are big telecommunications companies, ie; At&t, Comcast and a list of others that want to make the Internets a basically toll road of sorts. There seems to be a push to have the FCC allow to them to make the changes to the way you look for items, what equipment that you use to surf the net with and what type of priveleges you have to what is essentially the free movement of information that is the internet as we currently know it.
They would be able to tax providers more or less on content that they deem to be in their favor or not.

I am not sure how much of what I read on one site is true, but, if this idea comes to pass then things that we all do on the internet will change dramatically. I for one like to play certain games on the internet, MMO's on the PC and games on the Xbox will be so overpriced it will become cost prohibitive to do so. Even the little bit of bandwidth that we use here for the basic posts will be taxed and cost us way more than it needs to, not to mention the posts that Gas Man puts on here would be a fortune to DL.

I guess what I am saying here is take the time to do some research as I will be doing some more myself and make some contact to your congressmen to let them know that this is not something the people want to have passed. Because I guarrantee that the big corporations are lobbying hardcore for the FCC to let this pass as it will certainly be good for the pocketbooks. We need to push for the Net Neutrallity to be reinstated and make the information on the internets free for all to use.
