re: Internet neutrality

Net Neutrality is more or less what we've had since the beginning of the internet. I wouldn't say it's helped improve speeds, but it's not the reason they are hindered either. They're hindered because ISP's haven't reinvested in their networks enough, even while promising to do just that if they received tax credits/breaks/incentives which they've been getting.
That said, whatever the FCC is voting on I can guarantee is not net neutrality in the strictest of terms. If it were, then the public would be able to see the proposed rules before the vote.
Instead of the 330+ pages of new rules, we get this 4 page fact sheet.

This whole move to public utility status should give groups like Google Fiber access to poles without having to fight cable companies that are throwing temper tantrums over it. This could bring more competition to the table and thus make it better for some.

This! If net neutrality was a 1 page bill, then great! But this seems like Obama Care...you have to pass it to see what's inside it. Who knows what crap they put in here.
