I asked a friend of mine that's an IT coordinator at Tulane what net neutrality was about and their answer very much mirrored what Antelope Sniper reffered to. It's not at all about content, ( liberal- conservative, etc.) but rather about the dissemination of the bandwiths and speeds that huge providers such as Comcast would like to monopolize. From my understanding net neutrality would more or less prevent them from being able to do this. The down side my friend perceives from it is that it can be a "foot-in-the-door" moment for the govt. that could possibly lead to more control of the internet. People for net neutrality say it will prevent entities like Comcast from forcing those who aren't in a position to pay more from having to deal with markedly 2nd class internet access. John

Starting to understand what it's all about. Unfortunately, both sides are arguing different points about it and nothing has really happened yet. So still not sure how to feel about it. Except government regulations have rarely helped.

If Obama pushes a ' pira114 Freedom Forever Act' you can count on it meaning the opposite.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

What they SAY it is has nothing to do with what it REALLY is. If the liberals want it, it's nothing more than an internet version of the fairness doctrine, designed to restrict our free speech. They don't want the web spreading the truth about what they're up to.

Rock Chuck, you are implying that the liberals understand net-neutrality, and that they understand the long term implications (social, economic, political) of the legislation. I find it hard to imagine politicians of either party or denomination have that understanding. Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....
