net neutrality basically keeps the internet free and accessible to all. telecom companies controlling content access allows big business to pad their profits. big business=republican party. very simple equation.

The Internet Neutrality Act is just a way for people to get out of paying for some high speed internet services. While I may not agree with ISP's charging for that stuff, I do think that businesses have a right to charge for whatever they want. Restricting what ISP's can charge us for some things will drive up the prices for everything else.

It's about lobbying and money....
What is the Internet Neurtality Act
[It] "is about Internet freedom. "Network Neutrality" -- the First Amendment of the Internet -- ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by preventing Internet companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying sites.
But Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to gut Net Neutrality. If Congress doesn't take action now to implement meaningful Net Neutrality provisions, the future of the Internet is at risk. " from Save the Internet (link below)

Because Republicans are all about making money and controlling society. They would love to eliminate liberal sites and make sure that the big companies can rake in the big bucks from the web.

Because it is a bad idea,
Anything the Democrats come up with and sign on to instantly tells me it is bad for America.

Maybe in your business everything is free.
In the real world, it's not.
Why should one business have to give another a free ride?

If they can figure out a way to pad their pockets they will be all for it, as it is they cannot make any money on it so they are playing the old repuglican song.
