The internet was created on a level playing field. That is the point of the internet, you have the same bandwidth and tools as the big guys to say what you want, when you want it. Net Neutrality is just protecting that freedom, it's protecting the ideals of the internet.
This is the good kind of regulation. The regulation to ensure our freedoms, and the ideals that the internet stands for.
COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1934
TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
SEC. 1. [47 U.S.C. 151] PURPOSES OF ACT, CREATION OF FEDERAL
COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION.
For the purpose of regulating interstate and foreign commerce in communication by wire and radio so as to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges,....................
This is an except from the act that created the F.C.C.
So very similar to the type of thing they are pushing for the Internet.
Who wants the net to become regulated in the manner of T.V. and Radio?
