Get your greedy paws off my Internet! And STFU!

So telcom execs want to throw net neutrality out the window in favor of making the fast buck.

Telecommunications companies like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congress for the right to control where you go on the Internet, how fast you get there, and how much you pay for the service.

...If successful in Congress, these companies would open the door to violate what techies call "net neutrality." It is the principle that Internet users should be able to access any web content they want, post their own content, and use any applications they choose, without restrictions or limitations imposed by their Internet service providers (ISPs).

God I hate greedy people.

Lame. Just more corruption... God forbid we should learn anything negative about the bums, lest we throw 'em out.

BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW WELL THAT WORKS. OH YES.

BUTTMONKEYS.
