Net Neutrality is a policy that prohibits Internet Service Providers from showing preferential treatment to websites for a fee and requires internet data traffic to flow without preference to a given provider.
What if you were in a coffee shop and noticed someone streaming video while you could not check your e-mail?
What if the video streaming site paid the cable company so that their content gets preferential treatment?
That is not fair, it is biased.
An actual example of biased a biased data traffic policy is that of Comcast. Comcast does not count video game traffic for XBox Live Internet Data against the data cap for account holders. XBox data traffic is treated differently.
The Federal Communication Commission of the United States of America will enact Net Neutrality rules on November 20, 2011.
These rules prevent Telephone and Cable companies from blocking access to customers to any legal content, application or service, unreasonably.
Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose business practices.
Broadband providers may not block any lawful content that competes with them.
No unreasonable discrimination of content.
The United States of America believes that Telephone and Cable Companies should not profit from delivering biased content because it prohibits freedom.
This activity has happened in the past by large internet service providers. Cable companies gave their content preferential treatment and blocked access to bit torrent sites.
There is pending litigation and legislation regarding the issue. The Supreme Court will likely decide whether or not the FCC's policy of Net Neutrality and their rules are Constitutional.
No, Net Neutrality will not hurt the internet. It is unreasonable to believe that companies may not invest in the infrastructure of the internet because of Net Neutrality Rules.
Cable and Telephone companies have held legal monopolies and been publicly traded companies for a long time.
Therefore, it is unreasonable to believe that they will not invest in the internet because they have legally protected revenue streams that deliver content. They will get paid no matter what.
The question is how much and the government has a right to regulate it because these companies are monopolies.
Telephone and cable companies are the gatekeepers of the internet because they provide access.
As gatekeepers they have a legal and moral duty to provide equal internet access to all. In addition, Wireless providers shall provide competitive rates to smaller companies to allow competition to flourish.
The FCC has a legal right and the government has a Constitutional mandate to ensure the internet remains free because the companies being regulated have derived income from legally protected monopolies.
The internet was created to preserve freedom following World War II, so that, in the event of a nuclear war we could communicate. Therefore, the internet should be neutral because freedom is priceless, not paid content, and it was intended to be free.
