FCC is taking a stand

According to newtorkworld.com, we were able to hear about the news of the federal communications commission who is trying to take a stand against the information superhighway from becoming a toll toad giving preferential treatment for those who pay for it. To make this easier to understand it means they are trying to slow us down, you would have to pay more for your Internet services to receive the highest speed Internet and if you pay less you are basically at the bottom of the barrel think of it as going back to dial-up. I had found that this quote from the site made me realize what it really means if this is passed:

"imagine if private companies owned the highways and had the ability to control which lanes you could drive in based on your ability to pay. Large corporate customers with enormous budgets would get to fly by in the left lane of the highway. Smaller businesses and individuals who can afford it would get to drive on the slower highway lanes-frequently slowed down by frustrating construction projects. Average consumers would not be allowed on the highway at all. They would be forced to drive on surface streets-plodding along at a snail's pace, constantly interrupted by stop signs and street lights."

I hope the FCCs stand against this is works because i'm sure pretty much everyone is so used to having the fastest internet and in doing this not everyone is going to be able to pay for the highest speed, and the thought of having a snails pace aka dial-up makes me want to spoon my eyes out.
