Net Neutrality

This article details the recent decision of the FCC to support net neutrality and eliminate the ability of internet service providers to create fast and slow lanes for various internet services.  Though the ruling is a win for anybody using the internet, the public reaction has been disturbing.  A game developer I follow on twitter said something along the lines of "There are two people in the Net Neutrality debate, those who are for it and those who haven't done the research to know better".  The comments to any news post is full of doomsayers claiming how Obama is evil and is trying to ruin the internet.  If they did their research they'd see the current decision is what's been practiced for years, and only recently was it determined that companies could use fast lanes (the thing this decision turns down).  The people who knew enough about the situation decided to do something about it, and sent in petitions to get this changed back.  The people who are too lazy to research did nothing, and then act outraged at a decision they don't understand.
