Why the FCC Is Ditching Net Neutrality

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/05/charts-why-fcc-ditching-net-neutrality

Revolving doors and buckets of cash are no match for an open Internet, that's why they're trying to kill it.

Too much democracy scares the piss out of them.

Thanks for the thread, HomerRamone.
