Save the Internet

Come on people, this is serious!

Let me show you how the internet works. Right now it is set up like this:

• You pay for your own bandwidth (up and down) to an ISP
• Google pays for it's own bandwidth
• NSP's like AT&T and Verizon route the traffic regardless of where it is coming from

This setup works. But if AT&T, Verizon and palls have their way it will be set up this way:

• You pay for your bandwidth
• Google pays for its' bandwidth
• Google pays AT&T for it's traffic to have higher priority than yours
• Google pays Verizon for it's traffic to have higher priority than yours
• Google pays [insert NSP name here] for it's traffic to have higher priority than yours
• Google pays etc..
• If google does not pay the required price, it page will transferred so slowly most surfers will think the site is down

We need network neutrality. Tiered internet is bullshit!
