The US Federal Communications Commission is to announce plans on Tuesday to reinstate so-called net neutrality rules governing broadband providers, according to people briefed on the matter.
Yeah, I don't get it either. All it means is that ISPs can't discriminate based on the site you're visiting, which is pretty important for individual freedom. Am I really free if all if my customers get throttled visiting my online store unless I pay ISPs to treat my site the same as my larger competitors? That's like saying it's fair for large companies to pay the police to make traffic on other roads slower so getting to my store is more convenient.
This really shouldn't be a partisan issue. Net Neutrality helps reduce the monopolization of the Internet, and it does that without making any top down rules, it just says you can't make anti consumer rules.
