WTF.
Am I wrong or did the FCC hand Net Neutrality over to the cable industry on a silver platter a few days before Christmas?

I seriously can't figure out if the handling of the Internet breaks down across party lines or if this is a more complex web of influence. From what I read, the guy in charge of the committee is in the back pocket of the service providers and the two Democrats voted with him, while the two republicans voted against it and are vowing to tear it down (whatever that means) in 2011.

Who are the good guys in this case?
I've read an op-ed that lambastes the President for breaking his promise on the Net Neutrality issue and the rest of the coverage has been full of twisty words that don't iron flat in my brain.

WHERE are we now, and WHO is on the side of a non-tiered internet? Is it an individuals thing or does one party see it the way that supporters of Net Neutrality see it?
