Despite my other comments, I do believe this is a really really important thing, even for those of us not in the US.

If the ISPs get away with it there, then the ISPs in the rest of the world will go running to their respective governments and go "waaaahhh, but the ISPs in the US can fuck their customers over.... why can't we?" (to which I reply "have you seen my cable bill? You're already fucking me over, you bastards", but I digress).

So yeah, *promote this schizz. USA peoples! Contact your local corrupt elected official and bribe their ass to fix this!

It's a shame that one country's domestic politics can have such an effect on a global asset. ~5% of people live in the United States.

In the political/economic climate the US is in right now, do you think it's impossible for internet access to become a public utility?

what would it take?
