content: "Again with net neutrality. It's a fucking stupid idea because at its most basic you think that your porn stream should be treated exactly the same as an hl7 interface across a tunnel between my ER doc and primary care physician."  The site you are typing in right now would not exist if it wasn't for net neutrality.  Your nearby hospital has business class isp, while we would have a household provider. An increased speed would be negligible. The reason why net neutrality is great is because it gives everyone easy access to become a part of the web, which is a huge reason why it grew so great and continues to grow.  Remember when Verison tried to throttle and shut down Netflix so they can make their in house movie services more competitive? Without net neutrality, the internet would become just like TV and the radio; only certain established groups would be able to contribute, and anything that is contributed would be 'safe' because it would be cost inhibitive to do otherwise. What is better, a new idea for a movie, or another remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? The internet has a low bar of entry, and thats why it is so much better than any other form of medium. The death of net neutrality is the death of the internet (as we know it.)
