I see the writing on the wall also, but there is a difference between online tech companies like Facebook or Goggle and the telecommunications companies or ISP’s having these liberties.

One you can choose not to visit or use, the other most do not have much choice because they are locked into contract to let them do as they please just to also have phone service. You have to agree to the contract or you can’t even get phone service.

The power to censor or control use should never have been handed to telecommunications or Internet Service Providers. They should just be legal to provide a door to the internet or not without the power to control where in the room you go after you go through the door.

It’s like going to a restaurant and having the service provider dictate what you can or cannot have from the menu. You could get up and go to another restaurant, but in this case they will all be doing the same thing. So everyone is stuck with this abusive unfair business practice against your FREE CHOICE.

It hasn't. Not only that, but everyone has at least three wireless providers to choose from and most people have at least two wired. Of course there are people who are greedy and say they will only accept the fastest provider so they can stream HD video. But it is incredibly stupid to push "net neutrality" over video streaming. Nothing else can be censored, only video.
