That will be the result of the FCC proposing that Internet service providers can charge companies different rates for faster connection speeds. Companies like Disney, Google or Netflix will be able to get faster service than us because they have the money to pay for it.
So, unless you want to pay more, you may wind up with an even slower internet than you have now. Hong Kong's internet is already 3.5 faster than ours. We rank behind countries such as Estonia, Slovakia, Lesotho, Belarus and Slovenia in the speed of our web. Yet, we invented the web. And now we should be paying more for poor service?
Almost 3,000,000 people have signed a petition to prevent this from happening. You can sign it by clicking here.

Al,
It seems the US is giving control of the internet to the UN or similar organization. To whom would you send this petition?
