net neutrality

This is one of the better articles that explains net neutrality and it's issues
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-rose/net-neutrality-versus-the_b_634467.html

Keep in mind... providers currently have the "means" and ability to throttle down some services (for instance, the classic comcast case where they throttled down a customer's use of a particular "app")...... When and if the FCC re-classifies telecom providers, net neutrality and enforcement of it becomes a possibility.

ALA has done an excellent job of keeping us all informed of progress on efforts, but it's still a little unclear to some as to what the subject matter is. Hopefully this article will clear up some of the gaps in understanding.
