If ever there was a reason to wrest control of the internet away from America to an international organisation, this is it! Bloody Republicans and their vested interests! (it was a Democratic amendment to ensure that the principle was kept in the new legislation)

I still can't quite believe this has been passed - net neutrality is the most fundamental principle the internet as we know it is based on.

Lets just hope that by a miracle the Senate doesn't rubber stamp it...

Simple background to why this is important.
