I refuse to call it “Net Neutrality”. It’s the freaking INTERNET people.

See below:
“Companies like Google and Amazon, pioneers of the internet, were able to grow because they grew up in an arena where the internet was naturally neutral. If you allow ANY sort of contingencies for any type of preferential treatment, with regards to quality of service/packet delivery, then this will utterly seal the fate of the internet, and any future startups (like mine) that are striving to become the next Google, the next Amazon. This will not be good for business, for consumers, or for anyone except the internet gateway providers.

Bill Clinton envisioned an internet that was freely available to anyone and everyone, regardless of their status in income or where they lived. He provided tens of millions of dollars to the likes of AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, among others, to make that very thing happen. As part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, these providers were supposed to have EVERY SINGLE HOME, connected with Fiber optics. This has not happened, and is nowhere NEAR happening now, and will surely NOT happen at all, if you allow provisions for paid packet priorty/quality of service.

Keep the internet free and open, not a paid highway for corporate behemoths.”
