Network neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data that travels over their networks fairly, without discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites or services

The FCC will meet on October 19th to vote on proposing Title II reclassification that would support accompanying net neutrality protections

my power company is privately owned :(

I didn't even know co-op power companies were common, it seems like an odd (but good) service to be provided by a co-op. I wonder if there's any in the UK

They're mostly in rural parts of the states where private (read: investor owned) utilities determined the region wouldn't turn a large enough profit to expand there and the state's public utility commission didn't mandate their expansion

Ah I see, well it's nice the circumstances existed for them to come about. It's good having goods and services being provided by co-ops, for the workers especially but usually for the customers too.
