**If the Senate votes in AGAINST Net Neutrality, then yes our internet will be gone and we will have to pay for surfing websites and all that other bad stuff**

and

http://www.savetheinternet.com/blog/2006/06/09/house-ignores-public-sells-out-the-internet/


Which means there will be no more sites like Digg.com and many more like it, where it's free for the users to post information on the web. Imagine having to pay your broadband expenses and pay to surf almost every site which doesn't have anything to sell to us. Including MySpace and Gaia.

it woudl likley be appealed Nights for the simple reason that blocking of content without individual sanction would violate freedom of speech and freedom of the press

and violatign first amendmant right never goes over well

also do remember a house vote is hardly final... you still have presidential and Supreme court rights to veto any such vote
