Re: Network Neutrality Is bad So... you want a walled-garden internet, where anyone outside your ISP's network has to pay your ISP (not their ISP, yours) to reach you (and be reached by you, which you'll also pay extra for).
There is a company that tried that, actually. It was called America Online. Their model failed, imploding spectacularly with the arrival of cheap dial-up, and ultimately cheap broadband. Now they scrape by, attempting to compete with Google.
If you still want that, you could see if AOL still sells dial-up in your area, and switch to them. Then use only their software and never leave its boundaries, nor click any button that might lead outside the warm and fuzzy AOL server farm in Virginia.
As for me, no thanks. I'll continue supporting neutrality.
