Someone is going to have to explain this to me. I've read
"The goal is to prevent providers from slowing or blocking web traffic, or creating paid fast lanes on the Internet, said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler."
Why is this a bad thing?

With government programs, when does the stated goal ever turn out to be the actual goal?

Because 1) it’s not an actual problem, and 2) because the Internet relies on prioritization to deliver real-time services. As an example, alarm traffic is set for a lower priority (and capped bandwidth) than real time video traffic. If not, then a router bouncing could quickly squelch out your TV feed. Likewise, e-mail traffic is set lower than your voice calls. Would you really be happy with bits and pieces of your phone call being delayed for a day or two (or even several seconds)?

On a postive note, will be doing away with the tolls on the NJ Turnpike!
