   Net Neutrality

   Well, if Microsoft can help me unclog the tubes so I can get my internets on time, I'll listen to them.

   That was quite possibly the funniest statement i've seen so far about net neutrality. Well done.

   LOL. Yes, maybe some senator-based draino for the "inter-web" would help

   Probably the best article I have read on Net Neutrality can be found here.

    Microsoft could listen to these shareholders... and issue a report explaining that they support net neutrality.

    Check their business partners

    The answer to the microshareholder group is quite obvious: Verizon and Microsoft are partners. Check Verizon's DSL offer. Oh, of course there is also the bundle with Yahoo! - which just happens to be a Microsoft partner. Net neutrality is not possible with such partners, and those are the "partners" customers have to deal with in many region of the country if they want DSL.

    What are you afraid of, Mike?

    Sounds like TechDirt and Microsoft are afraid to actually show a sound, studied rationale for supporting "Net Neutrality." Why bother when you can live off of pathetic emotional claims like "Tollbooth on teh interwebs!" or "Craigslist will be blocked!"
    
    It's so funny to hear you whine about this. "Now I've seen it all." Yes, heaven forbid a company actually be forced to explain its reasoning to its investors. If there's such good reasoning behind it -- as opposed to just being a selfish move by megacorps like Microsoft and Google -- then let's see it. Step into the real world, stupid ninja videos on youtube.com just aren't gonna cut it.
