Feb. 25, 2007, 3:05 a.m.I don't think people are getting what's going on here. Without network neutrality, if you have AT&T DSL, but AT&T doesn't like say, AOL. You WILL NOT be able to get on Netscape. Without network neutrality, the Internet companies can block your access to blogs, youtube, search engines, email, whatever they want. . unless you pay them more. There's all kinds of things that they could do, but the one that scares me the most is that they will control what you see. The Internet won't be open anymore.

Feb. 25, 2007, 3:42 a.m.You know what, I am a product of having basically any info I choose to find at my call at any given time. So to me the internet is a source of free entertainment (from those that publish such stuff; like me), art forms (I wouldn't have it any other way), music (I create that too), plus anything else that others have allowed to be free. Plus the varied amount of sites that you do have to pay for and those are also in the aforementioned fields and beyond. They want full control? They had better have EVERY hacker, cracker, and coder under control too because these types of people dislike what you are about to create. Also this can't happen without money...you have money ok build a site and multiply it. If people like what they have seen or heard they will still pay to see it while you'd get more viewers for free. Basically they want to get rich quick and leave us broke to pay for all and any info? How about this you phone companies, call me and find out my real thoughts. It's that simple!

Feb. 25, 2007, 10:55 a.m.There's no sense to get all emotional about the issue. It will happen it won't be stopped. If it wasn't stopped for the other three outlets of mass communication why delude yourself that it will some how be different this time? The thin veneer of rights has been stripped away layer by layer. The psuedo arguments of protection for personal safety, national security, intellectual property etc. have been applyied layer by layer through legislation, law enforcement, and fear mongering. We have reached end stage. About all that is left for anyone to do is physically speak out loud until they silence you too. "So long it's been good to know ya..."- Woody Guthrie

Feb. 25, 2007, 3:29 p.m.I like the freedom of choice that the internet gives me.
I would fight if that was taken away from me.
Especially if it was taken away by American phone companies.
