The companies who supply you with internet connections want to charge you different rates for different stuff, to encourage investment in better stuff. You like better stuff, right? But Moby doesn't like that idea, so he made a video about how we should all support government control through net neutrality regulations instead.
for an anti-netneutrality viewpoint i recommend:
http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/?p=229 "...the “hysterical cries” of groups such as MoveOn.org, which insist that the government must step in to preserve “the free and open Internet as we know it.”
But “the Internet as we know it” is actually one without network neutrality regulations, FreedomWorks said. “It’s MoveOn and its ilk that wants to end the Internet as it is by granting the federal government new expansive powers.”
FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe noted that some large content providers are spending millions of dollars to support “net neutrality campaigns” like that being waged by MoveOn.org.
“What is clear is that ‘Net Neutrality’ is a government expansion masked with populist rhetoric,” Kibbe said.
“FreedomWorks believes the Internet has thrived precisely because it is largely free of regulation, and now isn’t the time to hand the future of the Internet to regulators at the FCC.”
