For even more on net neutrality, see netflix and their dealings with comcast, at&t, and verizon.

 

The upshot of it is that you pay for an internet connection, and in America you pay more for that connection than most of the industrialized world does. Additionally your connection in America is usually much slower and less reliable than those other countries who have cheaper broadband.

 

Additionally you have massive monopoly level companies like comcast (only thing close to decent broadband I can get where I live is comcast) saying to innovative businesses like Netflix that if they want the people who paid comcast for the ability to watch Netflix to be able to actually get what they've been paying comcast for, then Netflix will have to also pay comcast, because comcast only made billions of dollars in net profit last year.

 

If you really think it's good to allow a private corporation to be the troll under the bridge making the people you invited in pay a toll then you probably need some mental help.
