THE NET NEUTRALITY BILL IS NOT GOING OVER EASILY.
THE FEDERAL
STOP IT.
VERIZON AND METROPCS FILED CHALLENGES TO THE RULES AND THE

NETFLIX.
DETAILS ARE FUZZY BUT IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE SERVICE IS
UNLIMITED AND FREE TO ANYONE WHO IS AN AMAZON PRIME CUSTOMER.
AMAZON PRIME IS A YEARLY MEMBERSHIP THAT ENTITLES YOU TO FREE TWO-
