As I typed in what is "Net Neutrality" in Google, I did not realize this was such hot discussion in the news right now. I guess I am sheltered by being over here and not reading about it.
For what I have read and understand "Net Neutrality" is preservation of free Internet. Not that we receive it free in cost, but we are free to view what we would like and how we would like too. It means no restrictions by Internet Sservice Pproviders and governments on content, sites, platforms, the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and the modes of communication.
The FCC dictates the laws on what ISP providers can and cannot block. ISP's cannot block lawful contents, applications, or therefore anything reasonable. But the problem is the FCC does not define "reasonable". With the FCC giving ISP's this kind of flexibility it allows them to charged consumers in tiered plans. The more they would like to view the more a consumer would have to pay.
Comcast, one of the worlds largest ISP's is in a battle with Level 3 who is a content delivery network. Comcast has confronted Level 3 with the need to increase fee's to broadcast traffic across Comcast's network. If Level 3 refuses to pay more, Comcast will restrict what content will travel across the network from Level 3. If this happens, any content you may view that comes from Level 3 maybe restricted and un-viewable.
I myself am an advocate for "Net Neutrality". If ISP's are going to raise their prices, do it because of inflation reasons. The FCC should not allow monopolies to develop by companies like Comcast, Verizon, and A&TT. The FCC should punish providers who charge ridiculous fee's and try to restrict content and make viewing the Internet unfair to the consumer.
FREE INTERNET!
