"the cheapest cable TV subscriber should get the same shows the premium customer pays for..." Per usual, you are making an apples and pineapples comparison. I am not sure whether you are being disingenuous, or just don't understand the issues. The net effect of killing net neutrality is that we are back to the old AOL/Compuserve model that existed before the Internet was made available to the public. Because it would hand control over the content of the Internet to the ISPs. "A faster Internet connection should cost the same as the slowest one" I am willing to go with you don't understand the issues. This is not the case. No one is proposing that at all.

Hey harris, can this possibly be true...It is!!! The American Chamber of Commerce is soliciting funds for our political campaigns from foreign companies to fight Democrats who are campaigning to keep American jobs in America... Actually telling those foreign companies they will lose jobs in their countries if they don't contribute to defeat those Democrats. This stinks so much and it is your crowd that supports these slugs who are using foreign funds in our elections.
