From the Daily Caller (Republician centric)

US court overturned the FCC's net Neutrality regulations. Now one would think that a Republician rag would get the story story straight or at least slanted right... nope. WHOOOSH over thier heads.

The net Neutrality regualtions were put in place because ISP were wanting to create "tiered" networks, and be able to differentiate traffic and move it at speeds based on what was good for thier bottom line.  Such that a household with Comcast that used Netflix would get horrible speeds but Infinity shows would be great... because Comcast would slow down the speed for non preffered vendors. Content rich sites like Youtube could be slowed down while Ultraviolet would speed up. What??? Youtube is free and ultraviolet is retail times 2? Too bad.

This could go beyond such content very quickly... Currently you mom&pop web site gets as good a pipe as Amazon or Ford .... but in a tiered network ... those that can pay for a bigger pipe will get it, while those that cant..well... click and wait. Customers, will be funneled not becasuse price but simply due to access.

Sad day in internet land... for those that understand what just happend.
