COMCAST COCKBLOCKS NET NEUTRALITY

I know most people don't care. or don't get it. But the concept is simple. Net neutrality ensures that access to websites will remain equal. Otherwise companies like Comcast can reduce speeds in favor of whatever issues they want to advance or, more likely, whoever pays them.

Don't think it's true. Read here how they attempted to stifle debate on the issue.

It's pretty illustrative of what they could do if, say, Barack Obama wasn't friendly enough to their interests.

You should care. Support the EFF.

My officemate Ian had a recent run-in with Comcast. They posted it on Consumerist: http://tinyurl.com/3x6nsb
