What's your ultimate end goal?

I haven't kept quite up to date with the US' net neutrality campaign as it doesn't concern me being situated in the UK.

What does it mean to the every day user to have net neutrality?

What is threatening it?

Why would you average person benefit from it?

What about the human right to have Internet access? I know places like Finland and France this is already a thing.

I see - thanks for the clearing those points up.

Since the block of a lot of file sharing sites, I started using browser extensions such as ZenMate. Wouldn't it be safer, easier and less of a battle if you guys built and managed your own sort of VPN service or VPN browser extension? This could (ideally) be free or cheaper than the other popular VPNs.

I imagine if this was done correctly the big guys supporting net neutrality would come aboard and maybe even help fund such a project. Apple are very proud to say they fully support privacy.

I don't want to sound insulting but currently I imagine a bunch of people with signs outside a building chanting things which doesn't actually get things done.

Hahaha that's great!

What about if you guys created your own ISP?

That makes sense.

Does anyone know how the line rental work in the US?

I believe BT own every line in the UK then rent the lines out to the ISPs then sublet the lines to the consumer. BT themselves are a ISP.
