Support net neutrality

I am very much in favor of net neutrality. I believe it is imperative that the Federal Communications Commission reclassify Internet service providers as common carriers and correct this oversight as soon as possible.

If they don’t, and big telecom companies are allowed to discriminate, it seems to me that this would lead to higher costs and poorer service for the consumer. If this reclassification doesn’t happen and big telecom companies are allowed to discriminate, it would allow them to charge for their services, and those who are willing and able to pay would pass their increased costs down to the consumer.

Also, this might, in my opinion, severely limit what we would be able to access through the various venues we now have available through the Internet.
