Like anyone here on this group didn't know this but look at the last 
line from this article

WASHINGTON - The Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday urged 
policymakers to proceed cautiously on any regulation of high-speed 
Internet traffic.

The agency issued a report addressing the controversial subject of 
network neutrality, which is the notion that all online traffic 
should be treated equally by Internet service providers.

The issue pits consumer groups and content providers such as Google 
Inc. against large telecommunications companies, such as AT&T Inc. 
and Comcast Corp. The latter group wants the option of charging 
customers more for transmitting certain content, including live 
video, faster or more reliably than other data.

FTC Chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras said that without evidence 
of "market failure or demonstrated consumer harm, policy makers 
should be particularly hesitant to enact new regulation in this 
area." The Federal Communications Commission and Department of 
Justice have jurisdiction over high-speed Internet access, while 
Congress has considered legislation that would mandate network 
neutrality.

The agency also said that certain practices that would discriminate 
among Internet traffic, such as prioritizing some data or providing 
exclusive deals to content providers, "can benefit consumers."
