Great article. I talk and write a lot about web accessibility & recently consulted with the firm suing the Scribd online subscription library under the ADA, but it never even crossed my mind that anyone would equate speed with accessibility. It makes perfect sense, if they don’t know about disability issues, and my own experiences are that very few people have even the slightest clue.

When the TV show “Last Week With John Oliver” brought up this issue, I wrote in my comments to the FCC that I could not afford “fast lane” service or any other charge to “improve” my internet on SSI. I use the internet to “stream” talking books and use digital library programs. There are many more people with disabilities like me.

Net Neutrality is nothing but government regulation and should be opposed at every turn. We need less government intrusion, not more. I am a totally blind person and I oppose Net Neutrality with every fiber of my being. This article is pure supposition and has no basis in fact. All I am reading here is a load of “what if” scenarios. The Internet has thus far gotten along without Net Neutrality since its inception in the late sixties and it will continue to get better only if market forces are allowed to direct the technology. Regulation will do more to lower the quality and performance of the Internet and will also do more to drive up prices than defeating it could possibly do. My hope is that Net Neutrality will be scrapped before the Internet falls down the irretrievable black hole of government regulation as have occurred with so many other endeavors in American life.
