    The Internet is dead. Long live the Internet. All it'll do is set up a second internet, one for the USA and one for everyone else in the world. Let's hope that Google really have bought enough dark fibre across the USA to allow everyone else access to American content...

    Angry

    I've contacted my Senator and Congressman. I'm still trying to figure out whether our 'leadership' is evil, stupid or stark raving loony.
    (or (C) All of the above)

    I vote C all of the above, and to me the saddest part is these elected officials will allow this to happen and then only later on will they realize they should have voted the other way.

    I haven't contacted anyone regarding net neutrality but I have in the past on unrelated topics and I really don't see what good it does. Every time "the People" protest something it gets a green light to pass anyway.
