The Internet is the property of the United States

citizen and that will not, in the future, include Corporations,

if sanity prevails. People have forgotten that the "air waves"

are free and so shoud be the Internet. If we can maintain the

largest military force on the face of this planet, surely we

can maintain and afford the Internet. ALL of our freedoms

and our economic future are tied to keeping it free and

robust. There is no reason it has to be considered a

limited commodity. It can be expanded cheaply and

with a great return to our society. Those who would 

control it WILL limit it to make it valuable enough to

leverage demand. The result will be that mankind will

get less and some will get very very rich. Next they will sell

you the air you breath. 

The Internet should never be considered something 

other than Public Property and quality access should be

as free and pure as clean air to breath. Afraid of more

Government? BS! Something is always "governing". It's

either under our control or under those of hands we never see

and are unaccountable to us.

What else would you expect a corporate Bone Head from

Verizon to say? Of course they will say that it should be

the source of a stream of cash right into their pockets.

Of course they will - and of course the stream of arguments

from them will never stop, unitl you don't have the Internet 

any longer to listen.

Don't give in!
