Roll the drums and ring the alarm bells! There's a thunderous sound rumbling across the digital plains of America. No, nay, it's not another Twitter-storm brewing, nor is it the sound of another meme exploding onto the scene. It's the sound of big business stepping onto the battlefield to play tug of war with the invisible threads of our internet; the tremors echo the words 'net neutrality.'
Imagine, if you will, the internet as a massive, sparkling river, with data flowing through it like millions of tiny fish heading downstream at breakneck speed. In the past, this river was accompanied by a glorious promise, a golden rule of the open seas, known to all as net neutrality. This principle guaranteed that all data - be it from the little fisherman in his hamlet or the colossal titan of an industry - would be given equal access to sail, swift and unencumbered on this glittering data stream.
