Network neutrality (or the lack of it) is an extremely important issue. I applaud Farhad Manjoo for finally writing an article about it for Salon.com.
Imagine an internet with only 3 real websites, and a handful of tiny, unimportant ones. Is this where we are heading?
Keeping the internet neutral is extremely important for the average user, for the innovators, and for small businesses. One of the major reasons why the internet has become such an important part of our lives is exactly because it is a dumb network.
Most people don't know or don't care about how important it is because understanding what neutrality means is complicated and technical, but word must get out and people must understand how it can affect their lives.
