Net neutrality debate heats up in Montana after FCC ruling

Let’s just call them Generation Net. Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester had wrapped up a presentation to Billings high school students and opened the floor for questions when the subject of net neutrality shot up like an urgently raised hand.

The public generally takes note of Internet politics, but for the 25-and-younger crowd that’s known only a dot-com world, any suggestion of government action adversely affecting it is a major concern.

"I think it’s everybody, and people want the Internet the way it’s always been," Tester said. "The best example I have is actually Billings West, when I was there meeting with one of their senior civics classes and the first three questions were on net neutrality."
