Net neutrality...

An excellent argument if it was 1990. The only people in the US seeing
a free market for Internet services are those that are still using
dialup.


In some cities, you have a choise of wired DSL or cable or even
microwave. But in lots of places, people have only one provider of
reasonable-speed internet service. It's not unreasonable to demand
that a franchised provider, like a phone or cable company, transport
packets for a fee but not snoop their contents.

Is there such a thing as a 2-way satellite link?

Thanks,
Rich
