Obama speaks out on Network Neutrality

President Barack Obama has spoken out on the topic of Net Neutrality, and
he advocates for an Internet that is free and open. That's a bold move in this political environment!

It would seem that the President is interested in keeping a free and open internet without sweetheart deals. Now if only the FCC listens to the President and the many other Americans who have commented on this matter. Now, what about the other big, Internet-heavy nations that enjoy the benefits of being connected. Who will be the next to speak up? And does Obama's opinion mean the debate will swing in the direction of consumer benefit, or will the corporations have their say?

How is it the story whether or not Obama has made a bold political move? I thought the story was about how the President's adding his voice to the debate might affect the FCC's decision on Net Neutrality.

Now, the whole Net Neutrality debate is certainly political in nature. However, you said you hate politics, and yet you made a political story with technical elements even MORE political. I don't get it. I would have thought someone who hated politics would have made edits in the direction of making it LESS political and more technical.
