I would love to see an updated article since this congressional hearing to see what has happened in congress since. It seems that cable companies are already gearing up to enact the tiered structure.

Thank you for taking the time to keep this at the forefront of news.

A couple of years ago the company I was with for my hosting was adversely affected by two Internet Backbone companies that decided to stop passing traffic between the two systems.

As long as there are people involve at all levels, the chances that egos and personalities getting in the way become quite troublesome to say the least.

These two companies made it impossible for me to connect to my own websites from my home. This affected millions of people. What if I was running a mission critial website or the use of Internet phone systems was interupted because of their own interpersonal issues.

I think in a net neutral world this would not likely happen, as all parties could allow the internet to work, and not worry about how they can get the little guy to pay for it.
