Telephone, electric, water, gas, and now internet. I had never realized the internet was not grouped with these other services but thanks to the new FCC ruling, it will be. The whole issue of Net Neutrality is a quagmire of "he said, she said" misquotes, and it has been hard to follow in general, but I am glad to hear of this new decision. It is a vital part of modern life to have access to the information freely distributed on-line, as well as the many useful services, and I feel this ruling will further promote the way we use the internet and put a stop to the unethical price gouging of various providers. I generally trust the government to regulate things well, and I think that of the many proposed laws the internet has been subject to over the years, this one will actually do some good for society at large. There are still many tough legal questions to answer, but this is a good step forward.
