1st problem is that Facetime is not a website.

2nd issue is that no one needed anything Obama is pushing to deal with any issue like that.

Now the simple question for people here is are you willing to trade less federal control in order to stop a virtually non-existent problem? I’m not. I dont care how many 20 year olds think that is “uncool”.

What young conservative in there right mind would want more federal regulation and all of the evils that will come from it?

What's the functional difference between FaceTime and a "traditional" website? They're both simply some service that utilizes broadband bandwidth. Read the link above on the Netflix blog. Net neutrality is about ensuring that ISPs can't regulate what their consumers want to consume with their bandwidth.

Think of it this way: would you find it acceptable if your power company decided that their basic tier of service only covered your lights, oven, and A/C, but if you wanted to run your microwave or coffee machine, you'd need the "premium kitchen" upgrade? If you'd say that's outrageous, then you should be FOR net neutrality.
