Internet regulations might help consumers - or - The end of the net as we know it?

When it comes to the Internet, UMR's Richard Hall thinks the Swiss had it right all along. Neutrality is the best policy. The looming debate over what's being called net neutrality -- or the continuation of equal access to the web regardless of who you are or how much money you spend -- prompted Hall to send his thoughts to representative Jo Ann Emerson. He didn't send an email though. Hall, a prolific vlogger, recorded his his thoughts, posted them on the web, and sent Emerson the link. The Post-Dispatch has the story in today's edition. Essentially, some people want to make the Internet a "pay-to-play system with fast and slow lanes."
