As of the other day the US government has reclassified the internet and granted it the same protections as a Utility.
This means that corporations cannot discriminate between sites or create bottlenecks in data in order to drive up prices. This is good news for everyone (except At&T, Comcast, and the other conglomerates).
Granted this affects US Citizens the most but Its perhaps the single most important bit of legislation in recent history regarding freedom here.
