President Obama Calls for a Free and Open Internet

It's entirely possible that the notions of surveillance (and the egregious examples of that which have come from the top-down in this country) and net neutrality can be evaluated independently of each other, particularly because they are dissonant concepts.

He calls for "Free and Open Internet"

An internet where all traffic is closely monitored, recorded and data-mined is not free and open in my books.

Actually it is free and open. It's not private, however.

The internet was never a private place and it will never be.

Edit: It's important that we don't loose the freedom and openness. That's what the discussion is all about. Not about the lack of privacy.

Sounds too free and open by your qualms
