Neutrality.  Here's a link to a third-party article on the issue

Just curious what's everyone's take on a Bill in congress which will
cause
Net Neutrality to be limited on a pay to play basis by Internet
Providers.

Here's a humorous site detailing the issues quite well -

-net-neutrality

I believe this is something that could adversely affect everyone on
this
lists' lively hood.

My views on government are not so relevant, having said that I really
have
next to "0" faith in government, and would not be surprised to see
an(other)
unbelievable blunder passed, especially by this administration.

What is your take on this and what are we doing about this?
