Yes, it's a bad thing, for anyone who uses an internet connection in the USA. The Republicans want ISPs to be allowed to offer tiered internet, where websites have to pay the ISP to get fast traffic - so for example, Hulu and Netflix would have to pay your ISP, or they wouldn't be able to stream to you anymore, cause your ISP would be throttling them.

It's basically a matter of the ISPs trying to control which internet services you use, and the Republicans going along with this because in general they're in favour of big business being allowed to do what it wants and get rich.
