    The internet needs to be classified as a utility.

    3-2? 5 people get to decide the fate of the internet for 350 million people?

    They need to take a look at mobile data providers as well the cell phone companies are notorious for doing this they sell all these unlimited plans but they’re not really unlimited because they’re throttling the customers they choose and putting other customers data usage through ahead of others, while still selling them as unlimited mobile data plans!!!!
