Basic Net Neutrality Info & Why It Matters

Firstly, I want you all to know that the Net Neutrality issue, can be a long journey with all sorts of facts with people on both sides of the chain. My goal with this post is to inform fellow entrepreneurs on the basics and inform you what my thoughts are on this subject. I am by no means trying to push my beliefs on you and get you to vote in one way or the other. However, this law can and will affect many internet marketers, and could in fact put many entrepreneurs out of business.

The net Neutrality law is in its core bones break down is a principle in which big companies like, verizion, AT&T , and  Comcast are prohibited  from slowing down / speeding up / blocking any content, websites, applications, and internet speeds of any kind.
