T-Mobile, Tear Down this Wall (ed Garden)!

The net neutrality debate has a tendency to get too abstract for the average user to care. Pricing this - tiered service that - enough already. Users just want something that works. Is it working right now? Close enough for most.

Enter the Mobile Operators.

As Gearlog reports, T-Mobile is taking steps to block popular mobile applications like Opera Mini that will make the average user stop and ask what is going on. Other mobile operators are threatening similar action.

As a well known congressman once said, "If you're explaining, you're losing".

The bright side to heavy-handed actions like T-Mobile's is that they show ordinary users why Net Neutrality matters better than any long-winded explanation by the likes of a techno-geek ever could.
