Can the people not decide anything for ourselves?

Do we not have our own minds? We have plenty of help blocking "bad" sites from our computer. Parental blocks, medium blocks, spam blocker, block user, virus protection. What more do we need? We need to allowed to make decision about what we want to see. Everyone has their own mind, likes and dislikes.
There is someone for everything on the internet or it would not be up there. It is the person who is looking at it responsibility to block that site and close the screen.

With this will come paying to look at certain sites that we now don't have to pay to see. Everyone that loves sites like My Space, Macy's,Fling, Friends, etc. will have to pay or join some kind of membership.

The price of life is getting to expensive. Is it not bad enough that we have to pay to get on the internet, AOL, MSN, People PC. Not even water is free and that is here for everyone. No one had to make water.

We use the internet to speak to family, meet new friends, do business. The internet is used for more than stalking kids, and porno. Many business get their start from setting up internet pages.
Many of these business are legit and many are not. It is up to the internet searcher, the consumer to decide which they want to look at. We don't need big companies telling us what we can see on the internet. The FCC is doing a fine job of that with the television.

Does the government not think we can decide anything for ourselves? Or do they just want to make a dime on everything?

Now there will be another tax to pay these big companies to govern the internet. People should govern the internet in their own homes. Parents should be held responsible to put parental locks on the internet from their computers. Locks are everywhere, teach people to use them.

Net Neutrality is essential to free speech, equal opportunity and economic innovation in America. Since the FCC removed this basic protection in 2005, the top executives of phone and cable companies have stated their intention to become the Internet's gatekeepers and to discriminate against Web sites that don't pay their added tolls.

This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it. It would damage my ability to connect with others, share information and participate in our 21st century democracy and economy. The FCC must ensure that broadband providers do not block, interfere with or discriminate against any lawful Internet traffic based on its ownership, source or destination.
