Here are some quotes by Ted Stevens the Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee which regulates E-Commerce.
The internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's, it's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled, and if they're filled when you put your message in, it gets in line, it's gonna be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Ten movies streaming across that that, internet, and what happens to your own personal internet? I I just the other day, got internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday.

Well, I guess that cleared it up for a lot of people wondering what the internet is! You crazy Americans and your crazy polititians.
