Anyway, preserving Net Neutrality is important, to keep a few mega-telcoms from strangling thousands of other businesses, and poking you in the pooper.

Does that mean someone would have to pay for a service that someone else provides? How long before the gubermint taxes you for that service?

No...it means that companies that were given the right to build their telephone and cable networks (Internet pipelines) on PUBLIC lands, through PUBLIC rights of way (or the PUBLIC spectrum with regard to wireless) should be regulated in the PUBLIC interest.

Another one of those baseless arguments from opponents.

In fact, it was the Democrat-led Congress that extended a moratorium on taxing Internet services/connections through at least 2014.

Hardly.

It means that the major telecomms that control the Internet pipelines, and to a lesser extenst, ISPs, should be subject to some form of telecommunications "common carrier" regulations with a goal of assuring that the Internet will be "open and public" rather than a private domain controlled by the whims of the major telecomms.
