Please check out this article I collaborative article between Keyan Bliss and me. We submitted it as one of out Move To Amend projects.

Three weeks after Christmas, the American judiciary gave telecommunications corporations a huge present. On January 14 a federal appeals court decided to weaken the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Internet Neutrality policy by striking down the rules it adopted in 2010 to regulate Internet service providers (ISPs). Without these guidelines, corporations like Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T are able to obstruct Internet traffic. Additionally they can make preferential deals with content providers willing to pay a higher price for access and speed. They may also manipulate the Internet content that people can access.

1. If broadband internet were a public utility

we wouldn't need net neutrality.

Tiered service, local news and weather, public service part of the utility package.

Everythin else value-added. Want a network? Buy it, no middleman like comcast.

Don't want espn? Don't buy it.

Don't want a gazzillion religious hucksters? Don't buy it.

Most of all --- don't want fox? No involuntary subsidy.
