The Justice Department has said that internet service providers should be allowed to charge for certain internet traffic. Siding with some of the bigger ISPs, it said it was opposed to "network neutrality" - that all data on the net is treated the same.

This would be a BIG change.

While I can see that there could be benefits from adopting a “two tier” net, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, has argued against such a development.
