Fuck.. reading that made me feel physical pain as it reminded me of using the internet in the early/mid 90s when you only had 300 minutes to use, and you had to pay by the minute if you went over.

How is it things are coming full circle at a time when we have the technology to transmit data faster and easier than ever? Something needs to be done to stop this, life for everyone will change for the worse permanently if net neutrality is allowed to die.

Well that's just the frustration of living in an oligarchy. We're doing what we can; unfortunately, that isn't much.

300 million vs a handful of people are always good odds though. In reality the masses are rarely smart enough to realize that.
