If you were thinking of killing yourself with a hammer or moving to Sweden over the issue of Net Neutrality and the big ISPs inability to play fair when it came to traffic, don’t do it quite yet… there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

It seems that US lawmakers are taking another stab at a Net Neutrality bill that would make it data tampering and the other shenanigans that are going on now potential anti-trust violations given the 98% bandwidth control that the 2 or 3 biggest corporations in America have over our internet traffic. Hell, I would assume AT&T + Comcast would account for some 90% of all traffic handled on the webz.

The bill has some opposition from corporate interest The Republican party claiming that it would be best to let the market govern itself… yes… it would… if there were more than 2 companies in control.
