Re: This is why...
Exactly HOW will net neutrality hurt the consumer. If I'm the consumer, I want an INTERNET CONNECTION. That's what net neutrality enforces. It FORCES the companies to provide an 'internet connection', not an AOL connection. If I wanted AOL's walled garden, I'd sign up for AOL.
Net Neutrality isn't just a good idea, it's a REQUIRED IDEA. If we don't stop the megacorps from imposing 'their' vision of what the internet is, we won't have the googles, the yahoo's, the utubes of the world. We won't have bittorrent. We won't have Vonage. We won't have ANY of the features that make the internet what it is today. The megacorp has one objective, and that's to rape the consumer for as much as possible, while providing the lowest level of service possible, for the highest price possible. If we don't have net netrality, plan on seeing an extra charge on your bill if you visit google. Don't kid yourselves, the executives of Verizon, AT&T, SBC, etc all want to charge MORE for LESS. They even state it in their press releases.

An unregulated internet will allow companies to create specific content and applications that are currently unavailable, or unfeasible.
