I have largely stayed out of the net neutrality debate as I don't really understand both sides.

I do not have access to cable tv of any kind, but I have Cox for my internet access. When the Olympics were on I could not watch them online because I do not have a windows PC, so NBC was off limits. While other countries had the olympics broadcast online I could not figure out a way to watch them because I am in the US. However, if I used a public proxy in Mexico, which I feel more than fine doing since I live 2 miles from the border, I was able to watch the olympics on several internet sites.

Now, I am trying to watch the World Cup. Yesterday, I was able to watch all day long the pre-game coverage and the concert through Cox and ESPN3. But today I cannot access the actual games. It seems if I go to ESPN3 I must be a member of a supporting company, which Cox is because the whole site says "Powered by Cox" yet Cox is not in the list of supported companies so I cannot watch it! 

However, by once again putting in my mexican proxy I go to the espn3 web site, click on the game I want to watch, and TA DA ! instantly pops up the game in all its flash glory.

So what gives? Because World Cup is not a popular thing in the US I cannot watch it? I have this same problem with WRC as well.

So what side of Net Neutrality should I be on, because this is totally wrong! A US citizen and I cannot watch the stinkin' game online because I live in the US? However any other country can access our american companies (espn) and access the game coverage? This should be illegal! Yet I am the one who would get in trouble if they found I was going through a proxy...
