Current breakthroughs in the FCC's protection of Net Neutrality (check out this page for more about that) and the fact that today's generation is not willing to just sit back and take it make me believe that it's join to be a long time before the internet is privatized, at least I'm going to cross my fingers about it. Honestly, what is most exciting is the protection that the internet is getting in other countries that the FCC seems to be noticing which are being passed into law in Italy, the Netherlands, and Chile, to name a few.

The Future of the US and Net Neutrality
I personally think that ISPs have another thing coming if they think CISPA or a related act is going to get passed without a fight from those of us not trying to make a buck off of something that should be equal and free for everyone. The blackout of 7,000 websites in protest of SOPA, including internet power houses like Google and Reddit, as well as the fact that 1/300 americans actively positioned SOPA, an almost unheard of amount of support for net neutrality, or anything due to the normally lackadaisical American public, just goes to show that we are not going down without a fight.
