Google pulls the same shit it bashes China for... (this is worth your time to read)

Brutal actions but the pro-Net Neutrality slant of this article is being touted as the obvious and only solution. Limiting and polarizing the spectrum of debate, tried and true. You're in either one of two of the opposing camps, for it or against it. They will censor and throttle more and more at the ISP and the search engine level to encourage this 'solution' of Net Neutering.

This will end one of 4 ways:

1) We can set up competitive alternatives to the Google / Bing duopoly to keep information accessible and independently, ranked and sorted and present on search and set up more ISPs so there is a choice for the end consumer and free market principles kick in

2) Government will step in to save us from the evil corporation through regulation but once they get their foot in the door who knows how far the FCC will go. They did a great job with the medium of television, 6 companies and one agenda.

3) Government will keep a deregulated internet and the cartels will take over the internet via leveraging covert funding (you think the TV networks aren't getting some incentives) in the absence of competition.

4) We can innovate and create a new 'internet' type medium by making local hubs using modified HAM or Bluetooth protocol.

It's up to us to present these, and other, alternatives and inject other perspectives into the debate.
