Hi Marsha, Net neutrality?, and interesting concept, let's explore. Doesn't sound like you are being neutral about it, sounds like you are taking sides.
The US postal service is supposed to be neutral, I am having a hard time with my mail delivery recently. Where does the internet infrastructure come from? It is a God given right, does it grow on trees? People make things grow, people are not neutral. Is the FCC neutral? Doesn't seem so to me. To extend the analogy, is the EPA neutral? What about political neutrality, perhaps that is where we should start. One must live in this system with its imperfections. I am your side in terms of freedom of access, but as Ian said nothing is free. It is the subversive control in the name of freedom that I find annoying.
