    Your ISP, if Net Neutrality disappears

    It would be a sad day indeed if this happened.  But it could.  Look at our cable, and satellite.  Keep in mind also the same one's against Net Neutrality, are the same ones running our cable and satellite service.

     

     

    I updated this to hopefully be more clear: 

    If you look at your cable and satellite when you order you are ordering a package.  Then you order smaller packages to get the so called top prime content you are interested in.  Actually another one that does this is also your cell phone.  You order the features you want, and then you find out how much you have to pay for those services.  That is what this picture shows, only instead of it being your cable, satellite, or cell phone, it is your Internet service. 

    Imagine being blocked from watching your favorite band playing on YouTube because you didn't order the media package.  Or not being able to watch a large news event, because you didn't get the news package.  Or you could even be blocked because you don't have the right ISP that is offering the event.  This is what this picture is all about. 

    Could it happen?  Yes, or a derivative of it could happen, like the event could be so slow on your end that it's choppy, and not worth the time to try to watch.  Or it's hard to connect, or stay connected to the event. 


    Why could this happen?   Because the same ones that own the cell phone market, the cable market, and the satellite market are the same ones lobbing against Net Neutrality. 


    Open your eyes people cause if you don't all this lobbing against net neutrality could come back and bite you in the butt.  It wont be pretty, you have a lot to lose here. 

    Net Neutrality isn't about just free speech, it covers other areas too.  Saying who cares?  Just about all of your technology experts care, because this will strife the Internet industry.  The Internet will literally come to a halt.  Then you lose.
