Net Neutrality

Senator Ron Wyden recently delivered a speech to ISPs (Internet Service Providers) asking or rather telling them to "think twice" about net neutrality. The internet has become something of a philosophical haven for those who fight for an ultimate forum for freedom of expression. Although this freedom might be infringed upon or fluctuate depending on the country, the disbanding of net neutrality will segregate the internet monetarily. Each voice will have a price tag on it and visibility or popularity of a website will not have just to do with its content, but with the amount of money the creator was willing to pay for his or her webpage. For those of us who use the internet on a regular basis, if net neutrality was destroyed the internet if it can be defined as a place would be changed forever. And for some, the change might be so drastic that the internet for them is no longer a place, rather, a space that companies are able to have their websites prominently displayed and the common internet user or blogger silenced.
