Net Neutrality is how the Internet contains free speech. If the
public doesn't speak up now, Congress will be purchased by a
multi-million dollar lobbying campaign from telephone and cable
companies that will decide what you do, where you go, and what you
watch online.

There are things about Net Neutrality I do not understand. Wouldn't true net
neutrality be a boon for spammers? Why should a user of internet services
not pay for the resources used? Some people just have more money than
others, and why should they not be allowed to get better service if they are
willing to pay for it? I do hope, however, that there will be no price
discrimination. That is already in the nations anti-trust laws.
Unfortunately, those laws are not well enforced.
