just sitting here watching a debate on CNN about making the INTERNET controlled by government (our world leaders,cell phone co.) its not just the u.s. ,it worries me a little because although its been nixed by congress and the supreme court ,if the right people push it'll get passed. i thought we were heading in the right direction?! cant believe this guy can actually hold a straight face while debating this issue,lol!

whats everyone Else's thoughts on this matter (wondering).

I haven't read too much about it, but my understanding was not that they wanted to make it so that you pay for everything, but that the bandwidths are open to everyone. From what I understand, and I may be very wrong cuz I haven't researched it too much, they want to make it a so that it is equal for everyone. Nobody has to pay more for a cable connection than anyone else. Basically, everyone would have a "high speed" connection. The people that are against it are the big corporations that make their money off of selling their "better" high speed product.
Like I said, I may be wrong, but that is how I've learned about it.
