Net Neutrality Again! (1)

So, here we are again with the subject of net neutrality and asking the question of how many times Comcast and Verizon will try to "buy" the fast lane for their constituents.

 What?

Yes, let's go into a metaphor and then back-track to the present.

What is "net neutrality?"

Net neutrality should be thought of as a super highway, where you consider the whole highway the Internet. OK? So, all the cars can travel on that highway to get to where they are going. Then, one day, someone decides that the far left passing lane can only be used by certain people, let's say those who're driving BMW's. And also let's say that Verizon is the one who can say who can drive on the choice lane because BMW gives them money.

That's "net neutrality."

But there is nothing "neutral" about it.  The Verizon's and the Comcast's of this world are trying and trying to wear down Congress to get them to agree to this.  They go back, year after year, to try to get this passed.  And so, if you do not let your Congress person know that you are adverse to this, then it will happen and you will be in the BMW — paying to get to drive in the fast lane.

Do something about it and let your Congress person and Senator know how you feel.
