If you love the net , and use the net, as much as I do then it's time to get involved in keeping it free for all to use. Big business is about to carve it up with fee structures that will benefit them more than the public.
It's time to write/call your congress person to let them know how you feel before it's to late.
Google and Verizon Near Deal on Web Pay Tiers....... “The point of a network neutrality rule is to prevent big companies from dividing the Internet between them,” said Gigi B.

Gimme a break, trying to stop tier pricing of internet services is like trying to stop the sun from coming up in the morning.... It ain't never going to happen.
Since when is the net free? I'm pretty sure even "net zero" started charging for freakin dial up (even if it still exists) years ago.

Why don't you leave the technical concerns to the network engineers. There's a reason they're called 'engineers,' you know. Let them run their networks, and stop listening to the politicians, whose only goal is to increase their own power and control.
