Summary: President Obama is calling for the FTC to regulate internet service like a utility. The idea being that our President condemns internet providers extorting websites/businesses for more money to get better connection speeds to their user base/customers.
Too little, too late? What's everyone's thoughts on this? Where do you stand on this first amendment issue?

There is not one agency that allows for free competition or best practices like the free market. The Only time that the internet was "extortion" or reduction of speed is when NetFlix was using 1/3rd of the Comcast bandwidth. They came to an agreement, NetFlix paid for the use of the service and both companies became better.

Mama always told me there were three sides to a story. In this case we have one side supporting net neutrality, one side that's against net neutrality and then we have the truth. I feel like both sides kind of blow it out of proportion and spin it. Can anyone give me the non BS side of it all? What does this mean for consumers, companies and the whole idea of regulation?
