Could we see a new form of communication based on the loss of net neutrality that functions just as effectively? One can dream but a free internet did affect the last elections and lo and behold, they're taking that away from the populace. Someone's going to come up with something! That's what we're good at. I feel confident and at the same time starting to feel like we're living in a soon to become 3rd world nation.
