Net Neutrality Neutered....say that 5 times fast

With the repeal of Net Neutrality, there are many changes that have been foretold. Some people feel those changes will be bad and some feel they will be good. However, I would like to speak about how these "changes" will transform Centurylink from a basic dividend paying telecom to a Toll-Road building behemoth more akin to Payment Processor Visa.

The main reason repeal of the Net Neutrality rules currently in place will help Internet Service Providers is a concept called paid priori- tization. Paid prioritization involves a telecommunications company charging an additional fee to move certain content at a faster speed across the fiber or cable it controls.
