So you pay extra to get the fast, non-censored version of the internet, just like you do now for TV.
You get the free-to-air basic channels just for having a television with an antenna, but you get better reception and more channels by subscribing to Comcast or Dish Network or whatever.
It seems to me this internet deal will work much the same way. A basic, filtered, slow connection free for everybody, provided by the gov't., and the faster, unfiltered version still available from non-gov't ISP's for a monthly fee.
It's sounds like a logical progression to me; like Internet is the new TV. As long as the unfiltered version doesn't become insanely overpriced, I'm for it.
