It’s about time that someone goes after Net Neutrality violators. In my book it is not only the disruption of connections, the shaping of traffic according to their business interest (instead of network survival or QoS specified by one of the end-points), it is also the spam filtering or all the attempts to make e-mail (that is actually delivered) a paid premium service, and the port blocking/restrictions, or setting the entire network on a spamhouse list as dynamic IP addresses (what is dynamic about an IP that is an always on connection).
It’s about time we educate the local politicians, because all Internet access needs the last mile and a contract with the town or county you live in. Today they ask for money for town government IP networks and local access TV station funding. What would change if they demand Network Neutrality?

Comcast surely deserves this. FCC should hopefully take such action that would show other wannabes that it does not pay.
