An open internet is the only kind of internet that this nation, or any nation for that matter, is entitled to.

No corporate lobbyists trying to throttle or restrict our goods and services, no government censorship. The internet is a tool that is used by damn near every human on the face of the planet. The net needs to remain neutral, or it will become discriminatory to enterprise and the people who use it.

What can we as developers do to help keep the net neutral?

But by becoming "neutral" it no longer is, because there is someone policing this neutrality. That "someone", the government, is not to be trusted.

net neutrality doesn't mean 0 on a scale, it means that there can be no special treatment of any pipe. Its a hands off policy, not a moderate stance.
