"Federal regulators next week are expected to seek to turn controversial "net neutrality" principles into formal rules intended to give the nation's computer users the right to use whatever services and devices they like without interference from their ISPs."

Getting caught was never an issue with me, as my ISP doesn't give a shit (I know a few of the employees, they told me this).

Well if you read.

""" "As we've said before, we are concerned about the unintended consequences that net neutrality regulation would have on investments from the very industry that's helping to drive the U.S. economy," Chris Guttman-McCabe, who is the CTIA-The Wireless Association VP for regulatory affairs, said in a statement. "We believe that this kind of regulation is unnecessary in the competitive wireless space as it would prevent carriers from managing their networks - such as curtailing viruses and other harmful content - to the benefit of their consumers." """

""" "This is a very welcome development, and is years past due. The Internet was created and grew up under strict non-discrimination rules," Sohn said. "Having rules in place will bring a degree of certainty that will help both carriers and consumers alike. Carriers will know what is allowed and what is not; consumers will be relieved to know they will be able to have access to any content and service on a non-discriminatory basis." """"
