It's good to see an organization supporting net neutrality and so adamantly at that. I look at this as basically the public vs. corporatocracy. The Internet is important in so many ways such that it is a digital form of a global public sphere. That corporations can have arbitrary influence over that sphere is a danger to the freedom of communication.

Here is a metaphor that may illustrate what's at stake.
