Top News - FCC moves closer to net neutrality
Education-technology advocates said that without net-neutrality rules, the price of online learning soon could prove untenable for students. If broadband providers are left unchallenged, the price of web access could skyrocket in coming years, discouraging students from pursuing web-based college courses, they said.

Not sure how I feel about net-neutrality yet. Senator McCain has a point. The wireless industry has done well without government regulation. But the ed-tech enthusiasts claim of corporate control of the internet could put prices up and online learning out of reach worries me. I suppose they could also control what content comes through their service as well. I need more info so I'm looking forward to listening to this discussion on the latest episode of TWiT. http://twit.tv/twit
