The sword of tiered Internet service has been hanging over our heads for far too long.
My first reaction to the speech by FCC chairman Julius Genachowski about the FCC’s interest in pursuing a foundation of Net neutrality was: finally. Finally we might be able to have some backing from the government in a quest for the obvious — that big ISPs should not have the right to pick and choose what traffic is delivered based on boardroom decisions and the squeals of shareholders. That the Internet should continue to be open for everyone with a connection at home or access to a library.
