If the GOP wants to retain power, they better listen to the people...

...500,000 of whom signed the http://www.savetheinternet.com petition in about a week's time.

Isn't it fascinating that AT&T can claim on their website that it "...will not block, impair or degrade access to any legal web site, application or service, nor will we intentionally degrade the customer experience or the service delivery of content or application providers" and yet none of our beleaguered lawmakers can figure out how to codify that single sentence into law.

Go to http://www.savetheinternet.com and take action.

I feel Broadband ISPs should not charge for video content. I would request the government open up research Inter nets to those wishing to post video and audio content? I can remember the days of dial up when you could listen to every audio sport in the world on a 28.8 baud modem. Amesh ISP owners are just trying to make it more difficult for the average person to surf the web, by increasing speeds and charging for video content in my personal opinion. Why Amesh people moving to the city would even think of starting ISPS in the first place, I have no idea.

"I feel Broadband ISPs should not charge for video content." - just means I should be able to get my news feed on TV, for the same price as newspaper or radio. Trust me, someone's going to pay & it's about paying for what you get - value.

If it becomes as cheap to stream video as text - people will just stream video.....and EVERYONE will pay more.

Isn't it just what you would expect. The U.S. government preventing sex slavers like Google, from restricting the sale of human being raped with animals. Right now,
Google has 677 MILLION of these rape sites. Now the government is going to pass legislation that protects these rotters from prosecution and protects the porno pimps. Our poor, poor, poor people.
