Holy Crap! Did you know that big companies like AOL Time Warner, ATT, Verizon are trying to charge what amounts to a toll so you can view certain sites on the internet? Yeah, like if the "Net Neutrality" is defeated, you may have to pay extra to be able to browse the internet freely as you do now!
Ok, so you might be a little confused and say "How can they tell me what I can and cannot see on the internet?" Well, they can. They control the flow of traffic through their networks. If they don't want you to visit Google.Com, or use Skype, or play network games, all they have to do is block the addresses or ports in their network. Then goodbye cheap calling on Skype, and hello to Voip services that your Internet Provider (ISP) will allow. Which will be their services obviously.
If Net Neutrality were to fail, it wouldn't be long before you were forced to pay more for a totally un-inhibited browsing experience OR great sites like Google and it's related services would have to flip the bill so everyone could still use their services. Imagine that!
