Don't know if you've heard about this or not, but if you've got time you should check out this article on net neutrality as defined by the sudden Google/Verizon alliance.

"Ivan Seidenberg, chief executive of Verizon, said the proposal excluded cellphone networks because the companies were “concerned about the imposition of too many rules” that could slow the growth of the wireless Web. "

...because that worked so well for our food production. And this is where politics gets its slime.

Obviously, anyone using the internet should be up for net neutrality. This is just being used as an excuse for them to bump up prices, which would lead to a segregation of the online community, being that those that could get online more easily would the higher class people. And that's just one problem.
