CNET has an article on The Comcast/NetFlix deal and Net Neutrality that may be the best article on the subject.
It's a fairly dispassionate, balanced look at the subject without all the hype and emotional pleas you tend to get from other sites. They apparently have taken a stance on the issue and have decided to act as advocates for one side or the other. This results in bad journalism. (Look out for phases like "holding consumers hostage." Any article with
that sort of emotional hyperbole is one written by a very biased
source. And, yes. I have seen that phrase when the Comcast/Netflix
deal or net neutrality is discussed.)
It's especially useful for those that don't truly understand how the Internet works. The analogy of the highway system is one anyone can understand.
Since net neutrality seems to be one of the hottest news topics right now, anyone wanting a better grasp of the subject should go read the article.
