Stephen Colbert Explains It All

Nation, I love the internet, and the internet loves me back. Why else would it offer me so much sex?

It is best explained like a speed limit ,the internet police ,aka cable companies ,let you ride the highway for a fee, the rest is put onto a slow lane ,internet toll fee .It will be funny to see people camplain about this fee when at one time their was people fighting against its forthcoming . How big is this change to the internet ? It is now owned by a corporation or corporations whos greed will make the internet as entertaining as watching a television commercial.

Likely, yes.

You can expect companies that have their own media platforms to prioritize that data over, someone like Netflix's data...unless you pay.

The internet has been around since the 90s...seems to have been doing fine..why not let the government handle it as it has?
