Internet Neutrality

We have not spent enough time here on the site or on the show discussing "Net Neutrality". Up to now and including today, the Internet has been a "free" space. We all have the ability to access anything we want at any time we want and at the speeds we choose to pay for through an Internet provider. Large telco companies in the United States want to impose certain restrictions on what, when, and how fast we see things on the Internet unless we agree to payer higher fees. Congress has been debating a "Net Neutrality Act" for a few years, but nothing has come of it as of yet.

We are posting the following videos with short explanations of Net Neutrality and some links for you to learn more about the act and its potential outcomes if it is or isn't passed. Let us know what you think and post your links to other sites with good information as well.
