Continuing right along with the 7 Deadly Sins of Net Neutrality, we present deadly sin number two:

“Net neutrality raises subscription prices for everyone, whether they use the high-bandwidth services or just check their email and surf the web.”

Mr. McCurry addresses this exact issue in his speech when he states,

“It should be appallingly unfair that a senior citizen broadband user who looks at email once a day and occasionally checks the weather should have to pay the same rate as a user who’s constantly streaming videos and sharing MP3s.”

So not only would a once-a-day user have to pay the same rate as a high-bandwidth user, but that once-a-day user would end up paying more than his current rate in order to subsidize the costs of the high-bandwidth user. Apparently net neutrality supporters aren’t the advocates of fairness that they’d have you believe.
