So someone on a certain network may not be able to search Google and may have to search the network providers search engine. Another example would be that websites that aren't popular or aren't in similar interest of the network provider may load slower or be blocked all together. Of course there are many sides to every argument as I am discovering. I totally agree this stuff should be much easier to follow since it will affect so many of us. Thanks for the comment Indo! :)

Not sure how the concept of net neutrality makes software developers feel like second class citizens though (just didn't follow that). I like how he talked about our expectations of privacy changing in just one generation. I would've liked to hear more details of how he feels social networking apps are responsible for the current president being in office. Not that I don't agree, necessarily, but that's just one of those things that is catchy to say, but when you actually get down to the details it might not hold true.<br><br>All in all, very interesting stuff, but highly esoteric and definitely not easy to follow. But as you stated, it's something we all need to learn more about. Nice interview.
