Internet Neutrality

When I first read the article on losing internet neutrality, all I could think was "Well, they (those who support such corporate greed) are at it again", but let's face it... if I make this a one liner for a blog article, it doesn't say too much about me as a writer or much about the article.

As the vast majority seems to have figured out, some companies are out to do good. Those companies help people and do the overall "Hey, love us, we're nice and aren't trying to screw you out of money" thing. Whereas you have the other companies that want your every last dime, nickle and penny. These are companies that either try to "White Wash" or what a professor of mine likes to call "Green Wash" (in a way to update how companies try to look good without being good). Then you have the other types. You have the sneaky companies going to Congress to try and dip their hands in the cookie jar legally or with loopholes.

The companies I speak about this time are AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and others who think it's a great idea to charge an added toll for Google and Yahoo! for users to get to them on their networks. Wait, aren't we already paying to use the internet, and now they want to jack up my bill so that I can get to Google and Yahoo!... tell me again what is fair about that? It's bad enough I'm already paying you to access your networks, now you want me to pay more... again... how is that fair?

Congress is going to consider this, but it looks like big business is going to win out either straight up or with a loophole or two. I mean, let's face it, where would Congress be if these companies weren't already helping to fund their careers as politicians? I mean, of course the American People should totally trust the Congress that has had two major shut downs in under 6 months sure, that sounds like a FANTASTIC idea...

Good luck on making me a believer on this one folks, but hey, who knows, maybe Congress will shock me and pull their heads out of the place of no sunshine and actually serve the People and not the Profit Margin.
