"The future of the Internet is up for grabs. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) effectively eliminated net neutrality rules, which ensured that every content creator on the Internet-from big-time media concerns to backroom bloggers-had equal opportunity to make their voice heard. Now, large and powerful corporations are lobbying Washington to turn the World Wide Web into what critics call a "toll road," threatening the equitability that has come to define global democracy's newest forum. Yet the public knows little about what's happening behind closed doors on Capitol Hill."
It's interesting to note a lot of this debate is centerd around 19th century road and railroad legislation, a legal term called common carriage. Literally, everyone has the same tolls to deal with for their carriage. This is really serious stuff being slipped through. Be vigilant. EDUCATE USELF
