hmmm.... pretty sure we covered this whole supply and demand thing in macro economics 101
Right now ALL BITS are created equal online. If net neutrality is not enacted than certain bits will have preferential treatment over non-paying bits on the major backbones. This will result in the ISPs determining who reaches the consumer and who doesn?t at THEIR SOLE DISCRESTION.

Am I the only one who see's a problem with this vision of the internet?
