If it ever came to that, a lot of people are going to leave and never come back.

Somerled that's not what they're trying to do. That's what someone with extremely limited understanding of the tech behind the internet thinks.

Either two things will happen, they dump net neutrality or start hiking your prices.

Wrong.  The internet is nothing like cable TV.

I really, really hope that this silly bill will fail.  The last thing we need is the government regulating MORE stuff.  Besides it's the WORLD wide web, so how does the US government even think they have the right to regulate it.


Read this: “I’m From the Government, and I’m Here to Make the Internet Better” and Other Lies (http://ipnetcast.com/2010/11/07/%E2%80%9Ci%E2%80%99m-from-the-government-and-i%E2%80%99m-here-to-make-the-internet-better%E2%80%9D-and-other-lies/)

This will probably get political and get locked though.

Perhaps they route every customer through different proxies based on the sub the customer signed up with.  Can't they severely limit the domains/sites you can get to by altering their proxy settings?
