The rules would also require Internet providers to give subscribers more information on Internet speeds and service. Broadly, the rules would prohibit Internet providers from "unreasonably discriminating" against rivals' Internet traffic or services on wired or wireless networks."
And this is bad because?
Also this is just the start! We need the government to step in and protect us. I doubt any of you could stop Comcast from blocking or slowing selective traffic(porn) from getting to you. They need to go further with this information though making it so the internet stays open and nobody can rule it. I think you've got it wrong.

It's bad because you have non-elected officials imposing rules on something that is not within their jurisdiction. Now we have to grind out yet another senseless battle in the courts to stay off this dictatorship.
