Net Neutrality

While sitting around the house today feeling like crap after the dentist, I watched some C-Span and the like, and I am really getting more and more outraged every day by big TelCo corporations trying to gain control of the internet. It sickens me to think that someday I might have to beg someone, Oliver Twist style, for more bandwidth please?

In case you have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, I am talking about Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality, for those of you who have been in a cave all year, refers to the idea that the internet is a neutral place, not owned by anyone, and allowing all content to be judged as the same, with no preferential treatment one way or the other. But now big broadband companies like Comcast, and AT&T want to buy the internet, so to speak, in order to serve their own interests, and ignore yours. So I am going to post some videos for anyone who still doesn't get what I am talking about.
