Net Neutrality

July 15 is the closing date for comments on the FCC's proposal to let ISP's create fast lanes to the internet -- charging people for faster service, while likely deteriorating the service of those who can't or won't pay more. From the Electronic Frontier Foundation:

Unfortunately, the FCC is considering a plan that would allow some Internet providers to provide better access to some websites that pay a fee to reach users faster. This kind of “pay-to-play” Internet stifles innovation. New websites that can’t afford expensive fees for better service will face new barriers to success, leaving users with ever fewer options and a less diverse Internet.
