Net Neutrality, Net Schmutrality

It always baffles a person like me as to how these things become issues. Net neutrality (or Network Neutrality as it is often referred) offers equal access to all users. It prohibits network and telecommunication giants from interfering or altering traffic on the Internet. The issue is that large telecommunication companies have been lobbying Congress to give them greater control over what their users can watch or read etc. because they are the ones who own and maintain the infrastructure.
My own thinking is that this seems like such a far-fetched notion and there’s is so many big names out there to prevent against this thing (Google, Yahoo! and microsoft). That said, I’m backing the folks at MoveOn.org to preserve net neutrality.
