Net Neutrality is a must

Web neutrality is a important asset to the Internet. The desires of a few already rich companies to make little private islands for which they charge additional fees is not a good enough reason to start dividing the net haves and have-nots.

They need to find a more equitable way to pay for additional services rather than trying to get tolls from the providers of the content.

I also think that Google, with its vast billions in cash, is not going to sit idly by if the Telecoms and Cable companies try to start hogging the net for themselves. All they have to do is sell a cheap wireless connection box and hook everyone up directly to the net, completly bypassing the existing businesses. They already own the fiber and have the know how to do this. They just have to buy appropriate spectrum bandwidth (which they can well afford).

If they do this, Google will own the high speed connections to millions of people and be able to provide them ALL, at affordable prices, with high speed services, such as full bandwidth high def TV.

Go eat rocks Comcast / AT&T / Qwest et all. If you get what you want out of this corrupt bought-and-paid-for congress, don't complain later when the rest of us go find some other way to avoid paying your tolls.
