If you have seen my other posts on net neutrality, you know I am a very big supporter of a free and open Internet for all. It sickens me that lobbyist has corrupted our government and allows Internet Service Providers to charge for the same bandwidth, many times over or to act as a censor on what media we can or should consume by using artificial speed limits on non-sponsored media sources.

If you are not in the USA, you likely have a choice on what Internet Service provider you choose and have better speed for far less than we do. You also not likely forced to purchase 300 useless channels in a TV bundle to get the 1-2 you want to watch.

Burger King chose one of their restaurants to perform an act of protest and raise awareness for Net Neutrality. Not only is it entertaining, it is a powerful message. I really hope it gets aired during the Superbowl to amplify the message.
