Any individual that is for "net neutrality" has bought into the misinformation of "fairness". The phone and cable companies have spent billions of dollars to upgrade their networks to provide higher bandwidth and should be able to control the amount of traffic that flows through their pipelines for the benefit of ALL customers. What those in favor of "net neutrality" don't realize is that they pay comcast, AT&T, etc for their service, not Google and YouTube. If/when "net neutrality" is passed and Google/YouTube are allowed to flood the pipeline unfettered, thus clogging said pipeline it will force the Comcasts/AT&Ts to sink more and more money into their infrastructure. What do you think will happen to help these companies pay for continually added costs?

That's right. You, Joe Customer, are going to see continually higher and higher internet bills. Google/YouTube etc, the reason for all this will not have to pay a dime extra. Good-bye $34.95 ADSL. Say hello to $99.95.
