It's like watching a tv show u don't like, don't like it? turn the channel.. piece of cake. and switching providers will be a piece of cake too! =) If this happens, will be so funny to see all the big internet providers lose thousands of customers, and they WILL lose them =)

Have you ever tried to switch DSL providers? You have to shut down your existing service, wait between 2 weeks and 30 days while the telecom bureaucracy gets their act together, and then you can get a new one. Not a piece of cake…and in the meantime, you have no internet!

And the point is…the telecom industry wants to legislate the remote control right out of your hand..so you don’t have the freedom to pick which internet ‘channels’ are available – they want to decide for you.

We just lost internet freedom in Australia, hopefully some from the US gov can pull some strings for democracy in this country!

@D4Shawn ,depending who's in control right? net neutrality will stop the abuses of the ISP and it will be really free of their interference and manipulations beware of the Repugnants Republicans, they have ruined this nation.

@D4Shawn

Without NN ISP's can stop any competition on the internet as they wish. How the hell is that free!?

[VlcakStalker]

How foolish to say ISP's don't censor without giving a shred of evidence to support that. The only reason they are not now is because of NN.

First analog to Digital for TV...

..now connection for Internet..

with same excuse..because its better....I SEE A TREND :)

...maybe they will blame it on global warming and tax it also lol ;)

[lionessimba]

Actually its called freedom of expression and free speech, but never mind.

[D4Shawn]

Government regulation is not freedom. Regulation by definition is force (which is the opposite of freedom). Hopefully, not to many people will be fooled by your word games.

[D4Shawn]

You have no idea what makes the internet great. It's called the "free market".

[D4Shawn]

This is moronic. ISPs don't sensor stuff, the government does. Haven't you ever heard of TV or the FCC? You want the internet to become a bunch of bland, regulated propaganda where someone can't even say so much as the word "fuck" or show a "boob"?

YOU ALREADY HAVE TV. If that's the kind of bullshit you like, then just watch TV. For once, we finally have freedom of information, and you want the government's fascist little hands all over it.
