Don't you want your own internet

27B Stroke 6: "The Senate Commerce Committee deadlocked 11 to 11 on an amendment inserting some very basic net neutrality provisions into a moving telecommunications bill. The provisions didn't prohibit an ISP from handling VOIP faster than emails, but would have made it illegal to handle its own VOIP packets faster than a competitor's."

Do you want me to send you an internet:

One of the senators explained that as he hadn't received an e-mail he'd been sent on Friday it was probably all the people using youtube's fault so they should be stopped. When he starts talking about tubes the whole thing gets a bit out of hand.
