"The case has simply not been made for what amounts to a significant regulatory intervention into a vibrant marketplace. These new regulatory mandates and restrictions could stifle investment incentives,"

What we have here, folks, is a group of corrupt politicians acting not for the greater public's interest, but for either the corporations that they represent or for their own party's reputation. New neutrality is TOTALLY NECESSARY to maintain the freedom that we currently possess. There is no practical (in terms of public interest) reason to oppose it.
Let me give you an example of how Net Neutrality affects YOU and why YOU should be a proponent. Here is what would happen if there was no Net Neutrality and data providers can assert authority over their networks.
Let's say you came to the TFP to post a criticism about.. something. Say you got screwed over by some company's customer service and you needed a place to put it. Well, it turns out that the company you are criticizing is owned by the conglomerate that also owns an internet data provider. What they could do is re-route all traffic bound for TFP to.. nowhere. All of a sudden, the TFP doesn't exist simply because this provider doesn't like us.
That's what happens when you privatize the internet.
Everyone here should be PRO NET NEUTRALITY or you'll be biting the hand that feeds you.
