Net neutrality for outsiders

I keep running into this net neutrality campaign, but it feels hard to get hold of because it's a USAmerican thing. Annoyingly, it looks like it could affect the rest of us but we [once again] don't have any voice or leverage into internal USA policy though it affects us all. Anyway, as near as I can tell, this seems to go to the heart of the matter. And I invite USAmerican readers to support the campaign on behalf of the rest of the world, unless you can tell us a good reason why not...
