How net neutrality affects PC gamers

On Tuesday, the US Court of Appeals in D.C. waved its gavel at the Federal Communications Commision and handed down a disappointing verdict: the 2010 Open Internet Order is unlawful. In other words, net neutrality just took a big right hook to the jaw.

Net neutrality taking a beating isn't going to stop you from playing Battlefield, or prompt restrictive bandwidth caps overnight that make it harder to download games from Steam. Tuesday's decision likely won't affect your day-to-day gaming at all.

I really suggest you take the time to go read this whole article... And even the other articles it links to... There is a lot of good info about this whole mess that we all should know more about.
