Except that this issue is not clear cut to me…...
No, but the fact that every member of Congress is for sale to the highest bidder IS crystal clear.
It may become more clear cut when Free Republic is pushed down to slow speed because they don’t pay folks like Comcast and Verizon fees to be a high speed service.
The laws are being changed by government to benefit the large companies that provide internet service, who will be able to charge You Tube and others fees to be let through to you at high speed.
You Tube will then charge you a fee to watch videos so they can recoup the costs that Comcast and Verizon etc. impose on them.
It means more money in the pockets of the big guys who put money in the pockets of the politicians.
They push conservative content back on cable television, now they will do it on the internet.
This is a pretty good synopsis of what is going on, other than congress being bought off by lobbyists as usual:
ISPs Claim That If The FCC Reclassifies The Internet As A Utility, “Paid Prioritization” Wouldn’t Be Banned
