The most important infographic in the history of the internet

Summary

The blog post discusses the FCC’s controversial decision to proceed with the implementation of internet “fast lanes,” a move that effectively ends the concept of Net Neutrality, despite opposition from millions of citizens. The author highlights the extensive efforts of the Cable lobby to influence policymakers and secure advantages for cable companies, ultimately leading to a lack of competition and potential increased costs for internet access. The author expresses strong opinions and directs readers to an infographic that encapsulates their stance on the issue.

Yesterday the FCC decided, against the wishes of millions of citizens, to move ahead with the idea of allowing internet “fast lanes” putting an effective end to the concept of Net Neutrality. This is not something that has been done lightly or happened quickly. The Cable lobby has been busy for years hounding Congress, bullying municipalities, and doing everything they can to ensure that a majority of the nation never has more than 1 cable operator per city and 1 quality broadband internet provider, most often being the cable company, and to gain the right to charge more for accessing the internet. My thoughts on this are strong and it would be difficult to write about this without sounding like a belligerent child just beat at an FPS game smashing curse words into his keyboard, so instead I’ve summed up my thoughts in what might be the most important infographic in the history of the internet.
