I've researched the heck out of this BUT still don't get it. Just looking for a simple explanation for a simple man.
It’s like “Affordable” care act.
Did you not learn something from the naming of obamacare ... ‘Affordable Care Act’? Democrats are all about lying and manipulating people, so NEVER take what they say or what they name as truth.
Can’t explain it until they pass it...
Hint, it’s probably bad for everyone not in power.
You have fast fingers ...
Ultimately it means that the Federales decide what data goes over whose network and at what speed.
Like that won’t be perverted and abused...
Here's a much more detailed explanation from former MCSNet CEO Karl Denninger's take - The Net Neutrality Debacle: A Submission To The FCC
2+2=5
Just more of Obama imposing his idea of “fairness”. Increased government control. A new tax stream. What’s not to like?
You've "made a difference".
Higher taxes - more freedom for the NSA to snoop on you.
“common core” -—> Group Think - from your rulers.
Nothing good will come from it, only more bloated and putrid government.
Government control of everything you see and hear.
Sort of like the intro scene in “The Outer Limits”!
Just change ‘television’ to internet and ‘The Outer Limits’ to Net Neutrality.

It’s alot of clever language to Nationalize every ISP in the United States. AT&T has halted fiber deployment until they see where it lands. Think of Chavez, Venezuela, and the private oil rigs off the coast for a better analogy.
Obama has already taken over Domain Names and put him and his Interwebz Czar in control of the kill switch to turn off the Internet whenever they get that Fourth Reich feeling. He is also seizing domain names at will via Eric Holder/DOJ.
The next step via net neutrality is to force each ISP to provide equal access that they can’t financially provide, to monitor for unlaw-way behavior aka talking bad about Demonrats, and opening their brown-eye to make sure Hussein’s fist has plenty of room.
AT&T sees a blitz coming. They are pulling back. Verizon is already the DHS provider of choice, so they are hosed. I don’t think the smaller providers can do anything about it but hope the Republicans stop this Fourth Reich Primate from destroying more parts of the economy.
When examining anything, you have to look at the inherently scarce resource.
In this case, it’s “bandwidth”, ie, how much information can be transferred at one time.
Providers are limiting some users of their services in favor of others. Like, the porn downloader my be choked down to a certain bandwidth while the TV streamer would be given all the rest available.
What Obama wants to do is have a government agency determine who gets what. In this case it’s bandwidth. In the case of the ACA, it’s healthcare. In the case of economic policy, it’s money.
It’s a promise that if you like your ISP you can keep your ISP.
