Commercially, they mean. Not just for the military/universities/etc.

Well put! Marxism & Progressivism in the US have EMBRACED the irrational, emotional, & theoretical exemplified in their Pulitzer Prize Winning President B. Insane Hussein Obama! I, for 1, am sick of the President claiming his policies (over 2000 pages?) result in the exact opposite of what he claims! Take healthcare, unemployment, job growth, debt -- did I mention DEBT, war, power, oil, housing as examples of how the exact opposite of what Pres. B. Insane Hussein Obama says will result happens!

Conservatives generally oppose internet regulation because they're extremely reactionary about the subject of gov't regulation.

They have no idea what the issues on the topic of net neutrality are. These people are so tech-illiterate that this won't change any time soon: they'll keep opposing net neutrality on principle w/o having any idea of the context of the dispute.

The only consolation is that conservatives are making such fools of themselves that they'll eventually go the way of the Dodo.

So if we say something bad of the country or have a website against the corruption, or talk bad about someone we will be banned? This guy is right about the fact that we don't care or want to learn about history. This is why we will be destroyed or enslaved.

The internet is the last form of free speech -- Soon we will lose this right too.

Well, I'm a conservative (and only vote Republican) and I don't believe the gov. should control the internet content as far as moral/ immoral behavior. I know a lot of conservatives and I'm pretty sure none of them believe in regulating the internet either. Republicans and Democrats ARE different. Ron and Rand Paul are Republicans.

Both republicans are the same. The libs want to control freedom of speech and republicans want to control morally inappropriate information. REGULATION is the problem.
