Also; What about us who only have one provider available? I have exactly ONE choice where I live. Idiots. It's another case of old fogies thinking they know enough about the new fangled technology to decide how it's run. It sucks.

Hopefully the people who do have choices in the matter, soon end their services with AT&T and Verizon once they hear about this.

The logistics of this really baffles me. If ISPs suddenly earn carte blanche to tell customers where they can go when they're online, doesn't that mean that ISPs could then also opt not to enforce those kind of restrictions and, probably fairly easily win the market anyways? I'm not very schooled on the ins and outs of net neutrality but I just feel in my gut, though common folk like us kind of sit and eat a lot of corporate shit I feel like this is something many people are gonna have a lot of tolerance for when it comes down to it. If "cable-like" internet ever came to fruition I don't even know how companies can pitch it without coming off as complete scumbags. They don't tell you you can't go places, just that you need to pay to get there. In a lot of cases where charges have come into an area where there were none, the option of giving it cheap or free doesn't really come into it. It tends to be everyone charging as much as they can get away with, possibly justifying it as a "premium" service.
