I am doing an editorial for the site Kombo - Beta (Pardon the Dust) | Main Index on why net neutrality is incredibly important for gamers and why it is more beneficial for the FCC, rather than companies that stand to profit off of others losses (such as Google, Verizon) and while to me I feel it is a pretty cut and dry issue, I have heard that there are people against net neutrality, and wanted to get the opinions of more people just to see where others stand on the issue.
Essentially, net neutrality would mean the internet stays the way it is right now, except ISPs such as Comcast would have to allow access to sites they have restricted in the past (usually these sites are P2P sites, pornography sites, etc).
While I do not recommend you just follow this as a source, here is a good starting point on the basics of net neutrality: Network neutrality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and here is a proposition by the Google-Verizon pact which actually serves as one giant loophole to allow them control of the net under the false pretense of net neutrality: Four Democrats urge U.S. to act on Internet traffic | Reuters
