non-neutrality is so bad, you have what you believe are valid technical reasons for the other conclusion. I am pretty sure you cannot change my mind, and I’m betting that I won’t change your mind my way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Burger King Trolled Customers to Perfectly Explain Net Neutrality

<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre> Burger King created a "fast lane" for Whoppers in the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> commercial, which allowed customers who paid more to get their<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> burger faster. Without the net neutrality rules that the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Federal Communications Commission repealed last year, internet<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> companies could charge customers more for faster access to<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> certain online content, just like the Whopper fast lane. They<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> could prioritize some content over others (chicken sandwiches<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> over Whoppers, for example) and throttle service on content<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> for some users (very, very slowly handing over the bag).<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Look, I'm not one to gush over brands, and at the end of the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> day Burger King's goal is to appeal to woke millennials so it<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> can sell more burgers. But it created a really useful PSA in<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> the process, which also points viewers to an online petition<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> where they can protest the change in the law. Oh, and in case<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> you missed it, there's even a dig at FCC Chair Ajit Pai at the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> end.<o:p></o:p></pre>
