I'm confused, what does net neutrality mean if not being neutral to bits on the internet?

- jack-r-abbit 12y agoText messages are bits. They used to cost per text and now they don't. Nobody got up in arms about that. Why is this different?
- Touche 12y agoText messages aren't on the internet.
- jack-r-abbit 12y agoThey get to my phone the same way the music does... from a cell tower. I don't really care how the carrier got them to the tower. Bits are bits, right?
- Touche 12y agoYou may not care but net neutrality is about the internet.
- dingaling 12y agoText messages don't / didn't cost different rates depending upon what you discussed in them. 'Honey, we need milk from the store': 10 cents 'Bon Jovi are playing Glastonbury this year!': free People would have been up in arms about that.
- jack-r-abbit 12y agoYour analogy would only work if T-Mobile was only offering free streaming of Bon Jovi music. But it seems like that is not the case.
