Net Neutrality is a hot topic as of late. It seems that not a week goes by without news breaking regarding a certain politician's stance on net neutrality, or a tech company introducing a new technology designed to inspect, detect, or shape net traffic is some way, shape or form. Considering the importance of the topic, we thought it was a good time to get all of your opinions on the matter. With that in mind, we have just posted a new poll that we'd like you all to participate in.

What's Your Stance on Net Neutrality? Let us know by voting in the poll, and then come back in here and give your innermost thoughts on the topic. Do you even care that your ISP may be monitoring traffic and throttling connections based on what is being passed through their network? Or would you prefer than ISPs keep their hands off your connection? Let your voice be heard.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
