In regards to net neutrality, I believe that it is better for us to try and actually weigh the consequences of attempting to disallow companies to not have fast lanes.
The consequences of disallowing this, to me, possibly outweigh the benefits.
In regards to privacy, I believe the consumers give up some of their privacy in order to use services for free.
The fact is that in order for Americans to be free, we must retain our liberties. However, when we sign user agreements, we give up some of our liberties and freedom and privacy in order to use these services.
This is not to say that this is a bad trend. I only state that users need more transparency when it comes to these user agreements. As most user agreements are written in legal jargon, the average citizen is not going to read these. While I understand that it is written in that manner because they must cover every option, I believe that having a quick manner in which users can read what information is being used and collected would be appropriate.
In regards to the mobile Internet, I believe that the FCC should be able to currently regulate it based on the fact that mobile Communications are based on data packets that get sent through proprietary towers. As this is the case, it should be within reason for them to be able to classify the mobile Internet as within their jurisdiction.
The issue I have with mass collecting of data is that the information can always be misused. Obviously, the issue at hand is that we have been collecting this information for you without regard to privacy or obscurity. The thing is that demographic information can give away a lot more the most people are comfortable with .
Since web sites like Amazon allow wish lists to be public, they leave it open poor people with no intentions to get access to seemingly private information.
I personally do not like the idea that someone can figure out where I live, where I am, and what I do on a regular basis concerning because these people with ill intentions can access services while pretending they are me.
In general, the idea of net neutrality seems like a good one. However, I truly believe that making sure that companies are able to do business as usual is important. I also feel that it is important for people do you know what information is being broadcast on the web. These two concerns must be taken into account when writing any new legislation in regards to the Internet and how it is used.
I also believe that it is important that Internet service providers do not block lawful content for throttle this content in a manner that makes it difficult for anyone to access the content that they are paying to access.

Also, I want to note that I "wrote" this using Google Voice on my phone. And, except for a few errors in grammar and a little frustration with the microphone, it turned out pretty well. This is an example of the free services that we voluntarily give our information to companies to have access to. All with the aim of making our lives easier.
