    Ready for Internet Toll Roads?

    Say goodbye to net neutrality (for now at least)

    It's a sad day for the internet. If you haven't heard the story, read the wikipedia article about it:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality

    Too lazy to read? Watch the video:

    Looks like the fight might not be over either; Google has pledged support for net neutrality, and if any abuse does result from legislators not passing net neutrality, then Google will file complaints: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060704/...tneutrality_dc

    At least we've got a chance now

    We pay enough for the internet connection to connect to the internet. Isn't that enough? I swear if my ISP does this, bye internet, and hello magazines.
