the companies should look at their physical connections first. They should upgrade their networks with fiber optic lines instead of limiting my content. With the millions of dollars they make each year, would it be that much of a problem? It also does not help when policymakers who do not know anything about the Internet are responsible for creating laws that have to do with Net Neutrality. A great example of this is a clip from Senator Ted Stevens where he explains that the "internet is a series of tubes" and that "internet was sent to (him) by (his) staff the other day." Other than those few statements, most of what he says is unintelligible. See the video here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=f9 9PcP0aFNE). The Internet is very new and will constantly evolve. Based on the information I collected, I am can say with confidence that eliminating Net Neutrality at this current moment would not benefit the consumer or the Internet itself.
