Well that's over and done with.

How long until we'll have to pay more just to get to this site?

Even the GOP wanted to keep Net Neutrality.

Those FCC fuckers should be shot.

It’s not over by a long shot. New York Attorney General Schneiderman Has filed suit against the FCC. On top of that Congress would have to have the last say. I have confidence were going to win this.

I agree in whole.

The economic disruption this policy change would create is what I think will undo it.

Business today depends on the Internet. To have Internet access fucked with in this way will not be tolerated by the Big Businesses -- the retailers, banks, manufacturers, etc etc who depend on it; and whose collective lobbying clout on K Street eclipses that of the telecoms.

The amount of money they will be able to squeeze out of this is truly astounding. Isn't that reason enough to try?
