Again..? Seriously, why can't these guys learn their lesson already, and leave us and the internet alone? Instead of trying to hinder our internet surfing and control our internet lives, why can't they focus on improving it? I just don't get it! What's with this selfish need to control everything that is meant to be free?! I'm sorry, but if they don't change their focus, they need to be brought down for the sake of the internet.
I am sick of these government chumps and company king pins trying to take dominance over a virtual land of the free.

Internet isn't free, you are still paying for the service. The question here is that they wan't to charge more for different sites than others, meaning that those sites that has a profitble goal, like netflix, get a unequal fotting when it comes to compettion, wich is the basics of a stable economics. Compettion > monopoly...
Why they aren't improving it? Because it's their way of regulating a sort of "supply and demand", if they upgrade it, they have to charge less for the internet, because it can handle more traffic, does lowering the "supply(connection speed)" and with the amount of demand, they can charge a high price. Take New York for example, one of the biggest stock-marketing metroplitan in the world, would benefit sooo much if they got better internet, but the fact is, that there is little to none to even upgrade the net to fiber-optics.

I know; I didn't mean "free" by financial standards. I know we have to pay to access it, but we're 'free' to go wherever and do what we please once the internet bill has been payed.
Ugh, there is a law against monopoly... Why isn't anyone seeing that these guys are trying to monopolize? I swear, they need glasses more than I do, and I'm practically blind without them!
Well, that'd be certainly better for us! In fact, if you really think about it, the less they charge for internet, the more people will pay for the service. Their profit would most likely improve rather than decline-- quantity over quality, as it is said. The higher the price, the less amount of people can pay for it; the lesser the price, the more amount of people can pay for it. Y'see where I'm going with this?
Well, somebody better come around soon and upgrade it! Seriously, everyone will benefit from it if they use it properly.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that some companies are looking for loopholes in these laws, especially when the laws haven't quite chought up with the internet. And in many cases, there are no specfic laws reffered to the internet. Here is just one example of someone taking advatage of the lack of laws.
It's strange isn't it? Here in Sweden, there has been a great movement to upgrade so that every household have the capablity of having the speed of wich fiber-optics provide, the tools are already there, all you need to do is to do a little mouse-click. And boom, there you have it. The US are really shooting themselves in the foot here.
