I’m not in favor of treating ISPs as utilities circa 1930, but when I pay for Internet service, I expect the best possible unfiltered access to whichever site I access. Without some type of formal guarantee, there’s nothing to stop Comcast or AT&T from (for instance) blocking or degrading conservative sites. How would you feel about that?

How do you feel about some unelected, un-fireable bureaucrat at the FCC ordering ISP providers to throttle down Free Republic's packet transmissions because it doesn't produce the "correct" type of content? You DO realize that "Net Neutrality" is the exact opposite of what the title says, don't you?

Sorry, I don't want Washington DC given power over the internet. Things worked just fine before 2015, thank you.

Remember,the Net Neutrality concept was developed by an avowed Marxist professor of journalism. believe his name was McDougal or McDouglas, possibly from NW University (a leftist shithole if there ever was one).

There was also a couple other Marxists who helped develop this concept, possibly at the Un. of Wisconsin (the name Rogers pops up in my mind).

Their ideas were published in at least one book and several articles, probably at the Marxist “The Nation” or the old “Monthly Review”.

I know that a lot of this can be found documented at www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org and by a couple of media/communications watching organizations too.

It was a powergrab concept and effort by the Marxist Left o silence or at least reduce the public’s access to conservative websites, band-space, etc.

Someone here at FR who knows the issue better than I should hope on in an fill in the blanks in my immediate information.
