Since the media etc really hasn't been talking anything about this at all and if they do it's very hush hush. Net neutrality is no longer. What this means is anyone is the US our internet is going the ways of SOPA pretty much but far worse imo.
Basicly internet providers and isps can now block or even just flat out make browsing the net slower or faster dependent on deals from websites etc. So example if your provider is comcast and they make a deal with Walmart they can make all of walmarts sites load fast, but if you say shop at kmart comcast can just make it load slower to discourge you from shopping there and go to walmart instead.
Also this means we could be charged extra for using too much bandwidth or even accessing our emails, facebook etc too. Pretty much our internet will become just like cable television if not a more expensive version of it.
So now we're going to be charged more money for just basic use and any mom and pop shopping sites or any just starting websites/ fan sites/ art sites will be killed off. And even though this is only going to affect the US. It will affect the whole world/ internet.
