Microsoft and Google back net neutrality

Microsoft and Google pleaded with U.S. regulators on Monday to preserve strong net neutrality rules, while AT&T Inc. and Comcast Corp. backed weakened oversight and said Congress should settle the issue that’s burned for more than a decade.

What is in it for the ISP?

ISP's want to make more money by charging both the consumer and the supplier to use them, suppliers(Google and Microsoft) don't want to pay... Quite simple.

Unfortunately for the ISP's Google and Microsoft have rather good lawyers, rather big budgets and a pretty good constitutional argument on their side.

Ahhhh okey, so Company Y pays ISP double what Company X pays therefore Company Y's traffic will always have priority on the network.

That sounds like a very very very very k@k idea.

Why would congress entertain it?
