Short Answer: Read the article on Page A1 "Cruz's net neutrality views irk techies".Net neutrality is the concept that Internet providers should treat all Internet content equally in terms of the speed it travels to consumers, so that small business owners and entrepreneurs can have the same  chance as the big corporations. 
I don't think that the government should be involved in regulations like this because while the initial idea appears to be a good idea, it seems like a slippery slope to me in terms of the control they have over what people can access on the Internet; but that's not to say that I don't think the government shouldn't be regulating sites that are potentially dangerous or illegal, but that's a different story all together.
Cruz thinks that net neutrality is necessary to make sure that big corporations aren't getting the upper hand over small businesses, but techies think that the government shouldn't be regulating the speed at which the Internet operates, and that the original purpose of net neutrality won't be fulfilled even if it is implemented.
