I know it’s all in the same bill. Again, read what I wrote. The bill needs to be changed. And it seems that companies have been able to innovate with a neutral net already.

How is forcing their customers, who want a half decent net experience, to move to the most expensive plan possible? How is cutting off content, if the content provider doesn’t pa up, helpful to the customers? How is allowing censoring of the internet by big business helpful to the citizens of this country? How is destroying small business helpful to this economy?

Why are you so anti-consumer*?

* - Provided the state doesn’t have the right to censor content as well.

Are you kidding me? Are you really suggesting that if netflix doesn't pay their bill then the carrier should still let the consumer get it for free? Seriously? You make a deal with Netflix - if they go under that is between you and them, not the responsibility of any carrier.

so far no one has been limited or blocked from legal sites. Claiming you need protecting "in case" they decide to do it sometime in the future sounds very far left liberal to me. Free enterprise allows for costs and service to be set by a business. You can pay for it or not - but the government has no business telling any private company what they have to do and set prices for them. Free enterprise has worked for centuries and costs always get cheaper once R&D is paid for.
