Will there be a time when corporate-owned internet providers start choosing what goes through their networks? Some believe it's happening now, and they seem to have legal right to do it.

*The problem here is that anti-regulation advocates can't promise that there is competition in bandwidth providers. So it makes it impossible for us to vote with our dollars.

More than a few Comcast customers are faced with the choice of Comcast or dial-up, leaving them with the Hobson's choice of hoping their data packets can evade Comcast's traffic shaping police or not having broadband service at all."
