I own a small web development firm. The outcome of the proposed changes will do nothing but smother small businesses like mine out of the market. These proposed changes are the result of an untold amount of lobbying dollars spent by large corporate interests. The proposed changes stand to stifle innovation by small businesses such as my own who will risk having any successful venture bottlenecked by the Telecom powers that be. I am deeply offended by the perpetual arrogance and entitlement as it pertains to the issue of Net Neutrality.  I am tired of writing these appeals but will not succumb to the war of attrition being waged by Comcast, Verizon and the likes. My livelihood depends on an open and unbiased internet; I urge you to recognize the inherent hypocrisy in the arguments made in favor of these changes. Why is Comcast lobbying for these changes whilst saying they do not intend to leverage them? You know the answer as well as the rest of us; and somewhere deep inside you know that this proposal spits in the face of the idea that is the United States of America.
