Last week, Senator John McCain [Republican-Arizona] introduced his "Internet Freedom Act". McCain's press release says the proposed bill "would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from enacting rules that would regulate the Internet."
While he may be killing net neutrality, his own bill is against regulation.

So? What if that regulation is forcing companies not to touch your internet? Then you know you're protected.
If there is a bill that says NO government regulation... then the companies can do what they want simply because the government is blocked from regulating them in that stance.

His goal is to paint this regulation as negative regulation abridging your rights, when in reality its regulation to give you the right to do go anywhere you want on the internet.

You do realize the MASSIVE loopholes in the guidelines the FCC wrote up right? Every single one of there rule is subject to "reasonable network management." Guess what that entails:
* To manage congestion on networks
* To address harmful traffic (viruses, spam)
* To block unlawful content (child porn)
* To block unlawful transfers of content (copyright infringement)
* For "other reasonable network management practices"
They already throttle connections and blame it on #1. #5 has me scared. It leaves a huge gap for ISP's to throw an excuse into. Child Porn, Copyright Infringement, and Viruses are all acceptable obviously.
In this case I'm standing firm on the side of "Damned if you do Damned if you don't" until I see more info on that last rule.
