Well, that's how it starts
First they test out slowing and blocking the traffic, then they do some illegal
spying favors in turn for favorable FCC rulings, then they slow the traffic with that
"approval".. application by application, content type by content type.. slowing
them until they no longer work over their network.

And OH WHAT A SURPRISE, they've come out with some crappy knock-off of the
application they've rendered useless! And it's over-priced! Yay!

Oppressive collectives have learned that they can often get away with drastic
changes by spreading them out over time. But just because most people don't
notice doesn't mean everyone doesn't notice. We notice. We need to stop them.

Write in to the FCC, write in to your congress people.. if you live near their offices,
GO VISIT THEM IN PERSON. That's what these telecom lobbyists do.. that's half the
reason governmental officials listen to them and not us. It's not just the campaign
funding, it's also because lobbyists are becoming the only other people who talk
to them!
