“Those are some lovely data packets you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame if they got lost on their way to your users.”

There were a lot of good quotes from the article, but this one struck me as particularly apt. I saw something on tumblr today about how "net neutrality" just doesn't resonate with people - and it's true - I tried striking up conversation about this and some people didn't even know what I was talking about.

In my country, mobile service providers (Vodafone, Digicel, Connect) all have very popular packages like "Sign up for this data plan for $6 and get free unlimited access to Facebook and Instagram.

Anyone trying to push net neutrality here would have a hard time getting the masses on board once told they'd have to give up "free" social media.
