Elected representatives in America often portray themselves to uphold American dream (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dream) ethos. But in practice they support policies that go exactly against that ethos and support gatekeeper policies like net neutrality. Yes it is a global issue. I am putting forth an argument in an American context.

Internet has long provided the opportunity for a new comer to challenge the status quo because of net neutrality. Now we are creating a barrier of entry and it is going to be hard for new startups. American dream is correlated to equal opportunity for everybody irrespective of the background. That's what is stake at here.

Yahoo can buy 30 tumblrs with the alibaba money. That's neat.
