Net Neutrality

Imagine going online and getting a faster connection to Amazon than to Barnes & Noble. All other things being equal, where would you shop? I know I'd shop at the site with the faster connection. Now imagine that your broadband provider (Comcast for example) could charge Amazon a fee and in return, guarantee them this faster connection. Does this seem like something you'd be in favor of? Does it seem fair or even right? This is one example of what could happen if broadband providers (Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, etc) get their way. These providers want to eliminate Net Neutrality. The content providers (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, etc) are obviously fighting hard to prevent this. It is important that you are aware that there is a struggle going on in our government right now over this topic. The bottom line is that no matter what the broadband providers say, you, the consumer, are already paying for Internet access and they should not be able to control what you access. Network Neutrality is good for us, good for the country, and good for innovation. The carriers and broadband providers should not be allowed to control the Internet.
