Supporters of net neutrality are not hard to find, especially in personal blogs and online editorials. Yet, these supporters are not the “big players” representing the pro-net neutrality viewpoint. The largest and most powerful alliance supporting net neutrality is a group of over eighty large website corporations, calling themselves “The Open Internet Coalition”. Internet site giants such as Google, eBay, PayPal and YouTube are just a few who are part of the coalition. In fact, Google has gone as far as creating a page under its “Help” section specifically advocating the support for net neutrality from its users. So, why do all of these large websites support net neutrality? First, they feel as if net neutrality is the only policy which upholds the fundamental principles which have made the Internet such as success. Since they were able to become so successful under a policy net neutrality, they see its benefits first hand and wish to promote it for that reason. Secondly, sites do not want their content to be restricted and discriminated against by telephone and cable companies. They feel that all content should be given equal treatment, and this allows them to reach consumers with whatever content they wish. It is for this reason that many free speech supporters defend net neutrality as well. Thirdly, many sites such as those in “The Open Internet Coalition” appreciate the meritocratic market that allows for those with the best ideas, not those who are the best funded, to rise to the top. For these large Internet content providers, it is easy to see why maintaining net neutrality through federal legislation would continue to be beneficial from their point of view.

...it's like...virtual highschool!
really...I don't see the point in not letting people know who you are. Alas...my real name and a link to my facebook profile...
think we need to look at what has happened to some of TC's post/threads.
I understand that some of his ideas and view are pretty useless, however there hasnt been any real conversation on the actual topic, just how stupid he is. That has started to annoy me enough to not want to post any more and would hinder new users if you ask me...

I’m in regular contact with Mike B and he’s doing really well.
He’s not on the boards anymore due to a career progression that just isn’t conducive to him being a prominent member of an internet forum. Before certain members of the forum start pitching in with their Spy theories, I’m not talking about anything like that. He is just doing really well in his chosen career, and the boards are not the place for him anymore.
I have his contact details if you wanted to get in touch, I’m sure he’d be pleased to hear from you.
