Major Push
The Internet Defense League is making a major push on the proposed changes to the Net Neutrality rules by the FCC. They feel certain that the telecoms are going to start spending major money for lobbyists and advertising to push back against the opposition to what they want to do.
In addition to the encampment at the FCC headquarters in Washington, the IDL has developed code for people to use that will slow down sites to simulate what the ‘Net will act like if the FCC allows the telecoms to establish a two tier system – one for those able and willing to pay, and a second for the rest of us.
If the telecoms would spend the money to increase the available bandwidth, everyone would benefit, but they want to milk their current systems.
