    Very slim. The FCC will vote on May 15. No one is stopping them. Congress in general since 2010 has been largely dysfunctional on important legislation. Unless enough voters clamor to reverse this to their elected representatives, or vote accordingly in the midterm Nov elections, net neutrality is dead.

    The internet has become the single most important tool today. It's sad that the US doesn't have net neutrality in its constitution like other countries. Until campaign finance reform and other measures that curb the influence of money in politics are not addressed, you'll continue seeing crap like this. David Cohen is Comcast's top lobbyist and exec VP, and he's a huge Obama/Democrat donor. :/

    Ever have a dream where you're driving and your steering wheel is broken? You turn it madly and it is connected to nothing...
