Boo Gatekeepers

Save the Internet. Net Neutrality is an essential key element to the internet, with out it, there are going to be a lot of pissed off people. The big companies such as AT&T and Verizon want to charge us for the use for "surfing" the internet. The internet is what helped modify for the first amendment. Now these multimillion dollar companies are pushing to take away our chances at free speech. Now a days, many people spend a lot of time on Youtube. A lot of these pioneers who have work being displayed on Youtube, are armatures. These armatures are typically poor college students like myself who give life to a lot of the blogs and youtube videos. Now, AT&T and Verizon want to charge the armatures, (the poor college kids who can barely afford macn cheese) to utilize the internet and make popular websites such as Youtube and a lot of today's blogs?? The companies want to set up fast lanes for their partners in the business to use, making those companies not involved have slower connections... I guess its a smart move by the Big Cheeses, but sucks for us little people.
