PODCAST: VIP internet

Middle-class economics, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the latest in net neutrality debates.

And internet providers say its their equipment, so why shouldn’t they be able to offer VIP fast internet to favored business partners? Supporters of network neutrality say all online content should be treated equal. But how the internet works has changed a lot in recent years, and as we find out, regulators aren’t sure yet how to handle it.
