Two words, Net Neutrality. What does it mean? Well, maybe internet left out of the hands of the suppliers? For example, imagine a favorite item that you love, adore, appreciate, and care about dearly. This item right now, is perfect, one can obtain it at no cost.

Would that get you angry, upset, or just disappointed. Now, ever time the item gets put to use, it doesn't seem to have that same amount of marginal utility. Folks if you don't know what I am talking about by now, its the internet. Yes, the most fascinating invention that can be put into the same ranks as, the light bulb, the telephone, or maybe even the ShamWOW. What has happened over the past week, marks a very important battle for the freedom of the internet. Here comes the boring part, so pay attention.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has been battling it out with certain wireless and internet providers, to try and regulate the internet. I know, why try and regulate something that is not broken? Some people believe it is a good idea to regulate the internet, so Providers do not overcharge consumers.
