Your comment incidentally reminds me of the term "boob tube" (slang for television, for those who may not have encountered the term). I suddenly wonder whether that's what we're heading for, with the Internet. Throttle it until it become the latest form of "boob tube".

[The term boob can describe a rube or idiot, not just a female mammary, so the term is a double entendre.]

Ultimately, we ("the people") need unfettered control of at least one physical medium supporting the Internet. Route around the damage.
