This is a repost, because I have been told some of you cannot get to my original post:
Net neutrality received another verdict that could sent it to death row. Allowing cable companies to give preferential treatment to large corporations, while us little folk will be put on a slow lane, if any lane at all.
There was an encampment of protesters in front of the FCC, an unprecedented backlash from Congress, all to no avail.
For the next 60 days comments will be accepted from us and the general public pro or con the FCC's plan.
Donations are being asked for to fund an emergency campaign to save the free and open Internet.
An alternative to reclassify the Internet as a public utility, like electricity was proposed just before the vote took place
The public is now being asked whether to kill net neutrality or to save it by the reclassification into the utility category.
It seems that the chairman of the FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is determined to kill net neutrality.
President Obama claims to be pro net neutrality but he appointed Chairman Tom Wheeler, an ex cable man who wants to get rid of net neutrality.
Attempts are being made to generate an avalanche of public comment against the FCC's plan during the 60 day comment period. Hopefully larger and larger websites will alert their users about the push to kill net neutrality.
The public seems pretty angry about the events that have happened.

Another push for donations is being made and hopefully, together we can override the big corporations that are, once again trying to extort money from the small operations, putting them at a severe disadvantage.

Just to be clear for anyone who isn't following this in the news. Net Neutrality does not affect your online business, rankings, or anything of the sort. It's not something that most people will notice at all.
