Here we go again.  The liberals are attempting to hijack the internet.  They have tried to tax it, but that didn't get them anywhere.  So, they try their old "grass roots" approach where they pretend to be defending the citizens from some giant monster.  In this case the telecom industry.

The telecom industry is very competitive and rates are extremely low for transmitting data.  However, some companies that use huge amounts of bandwidth want to use the internet and have warped the true and original intent of Net Neutrality.  They want the public at large to pay for their use whether or not the individual uses any bandwidth.

Net Neutrality was originaly suppose to guarantee you the right to access the internet with any legal hardware and software.  It was not meant to be a social program to give some special interest groups a free ride. 

The telecom industry's position is very simple:  Pay for what you use.  If you use a lot, you pay a lot.  If you use a little, pay a little.  If you don't use it at all, don't pay anything.

With the democrats' version of Net Neutrality, every private citizen will pay more so that some giant bandwidth users can have free bandwidth.  The result will be far higher rates than you have ever paid before.

Remember what happened the last time congress got into the cable TV industry to make it "fair" for everyone?  The average rate for cable almost doubled.  Why?  Because congress has never seen a tax it didn't like and business always passes the tax on to the consumer.

After all, someone has to pay.  Why not just pay for what you use?  By the way, when was the last time a telecom giant blocked the internet?  Never, unless that user didn't pay their bill.
