Oh noes!! SAVE THE INTERNET FROM THE FEDS!!!!1
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

All it means is that consumers who are denied access to certain sites and services would switch to an ISP who don't undertake such a policy. Plus, what the campaign demand - essentially a minimum QoS for all sites and services an ISP is connected to - is unworkable. If they don't specifically order that, then the ISPs can simply introduce 'technical limitations' which coincidentally happen to slow down connections to undesirable sites. Internet access to everything at high speed is NOT a human right.

So, do you want your ISP to walk all over you?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

So Congress can legislate everything that isn't a "human right" away eh?

I'm hoping Congress won't be braindead enough to pass this. Getting rid of network neutrality will just make the US like China, which is so many steps backwards it's not funny. Good thing that people are working on software to circumvent this like Tor or Psiphon.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
