Net neutrality: Soon to be a past dream?

The FCC could potentially make the Internet a playground for the rich and corporate, leaving the common man stuck in the middle, or the bottom.

A proposal announced by the FCC, could cause huge damage to how the Internet is used and available to people.

Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps warns, "This portends a future where the 1% get to drive on the fast lane and the 99% are left in the slow lane."

Under the Trump presidency, it is scary to think that such a proposal may indeed be passed in the near future.

I believe this would only increase the monopoly already shared by major telecommunications networks and companies, through which multi-billion dollar companies will be able to have faster internet speeds for their internet content, leaving the vast majority of the internet without equal connection.
