The problem
The government of the United States of America is considering officially relabeling the Internet as a Title II common carrier, similar to utilities such as telephone and electric grids. Cable companies, wanting to limit Internet access to customers so they can set up "premium" plans, block websites until they pay up, or censor out competitors, have lobbied to keep it as it is so they can go through with their machinations. Many websites, including AVG, Tumblr, Wikia, reddit, Urban Dictionary, and even Chess.com have openly spoken out against it.
