It’s not fear mongering. The battle for net neutrality has been going on for a long time. It’s the ability for net providers (ISPs) to prioritize some content over others. Whether or not it would be pay-to-play hasn’t really been the issue yet, but it would certainly lead to higher costs for consumers.

And it is major news, it’s just that the battle has been going on so long that it’s not front-page news.

Definitely get involved by writing your legislators and letting Washington know how you feel about the issue.
