Net Neutrality

Google asks us to speak out about net neutrality:

This is long, but meant to be helpful:

For those of you who don't know what Net Neutrality is, a pretty entertaining version (told by a ninja) can be found here:

For those of you who want a serious definition there is one here:

For those who want a fast sum-up in one image think of it this way:

That would be the $30 or so you are paying to get on the internet, plus each additional thing you wanted to do on the internet.

Please oppose this. The bandwidth issues that comcast and others are claiming are as bogus as charging for a text message (text, 8k; Voice several megabytes, why would text cost more). Japan and Sweden both have larger bandwidth for cheaper, and we can do it too.

Contact your Representatives and Senators and let them know we are against this please:
