Without a neutral net, FR would have never been able to take hold like it did. You would most likely be furiously posting responses to an article on some MSM site right now.

So count me in on the pro-neutrality side. I like that a site like this gets treated the same as MSNBC.com rather than crowded out by it.

Net neutrality is the early internet version of The Fairness Doctrine.

Agreed. Its like with the mail. I’m glad that postage costs the same for The Nation as they do for the Limbaugh Letter. Take away net neutrality and you’ll see powerful interests gaining a lot of new ways to suppress speech they dislike or to stamp out the competition. For instance a cable internet provider slowing down access to streaming netflix or a phone based provider slowing down skype. Or a company associated with liberal interests crippling FR for their users.

Umm...where has there been a problem with this that needs ‘solving’ by the government? What makes you think that the government will make things ‘fair’?

Why would you give the Obama administration or any administration the power to decide what was ‘neutral’?
