Net Neutrality

Rep. Ed Markey of Massachusetts states precisely the issue at hand if the Repos and DINOs take the Internet away:
Do we really have to wait till these corporate giants divide and conquer the open architecture of the Internet to make that against the law? These telephone company executives are telling us that they intend to discriminate in the prioritization of bits and to discriminate in the offering of "quality of service" functions - for a new fee, a new broadband bottleneck toll - to access high bandwidth customers. We cannot afford to wait until they actually start doing that before we step in to stop it.
Markey: proof positive that real Dems still live.

This sucks. I'm so afraid of what this means for upstarts.

I've signed the petition at Savetheinternet.com, but I also think it's a good idea to contact your local senator/representative and tell them to support net neutrality.
