Net Neutrality Case Study

Decent Essays
The use of your mother's story helped provide a unique and inspired perspective on the issue of net neutrality. For this reason, I was drawn to your suggested solution of considering internet a utility rather than the simply a tool or a commodity to be coveted. In my discussion board this week I was severely uninspired because of my tendency to be the devil's advocate because of my ability to understand and respect both sides of an issue equally. I looked to your suggestion on how to achieve net neutrality for inspiration and a reference for my discussion board post this

    The term net neutrality was first coined back in the year of 2003 by Columbia University media law professor Tim Wu as an extension the concept of a common carrier. The basic principle definition is that there should be Internet equality for everyone regardless of content, platform, application, attached equipment, or mode of communication. It is essentially a type of civil rights movement for the use of the Internet. It also means that no phone company can limit what you can access on your phone such as text, certain apps, and Internet usage.

    Most of us probably believe we have absolute freedom when it comes to what we view on the internet. However, Barbara van Schewick points out in her article ‘Network Neutrality Nuances’, that we only have access to bits and pieces of the internet (Schewick, 2009). What we are able to view is all decided upon by our ISP. Schewick states that ISPs select what we view in order to maximize profits, to ban content which they consider to be inappropriate, or to keep track of all signals on their network (Schewick, 2009). She does an excellent job of explaining why this is wrong by bringing forth real world examples, using thought-provoking literary devices, as well as by connecting with the reader (Schewick, 2009).…

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a set of rules that would make sure the internet would remain an open and free place. This issue was sparked up when it was discovered that Internet Broadband Providers (ISPs) had the ability to manipulate data as they saw fit for their own profit. In order to uphold the policies that help keep the average person’s data out of their ISP’s hands, a presidential candidate who supports net neutrality must be elected. Bernie Sanders is the best candidate to defend net neutrality because he's against corporate control, spying on American citizens, and supports the FCC's regulations. The internet has become an integral part of American educational, business, and recreational life.…

    Raheeb Chowdhury 12/19/17 Mr. Ajit Pai I strongly disagree with your opinion that net neutrality should be destroyed. Here are a few reasons why I disagree with you. For one thing, Net Neutrality provides equality for all on the internet by making internet speeds equal, this makes it so ISPs (Internet Service Providers) can’t fiddle with the speeds to make a certain program slower so they will use the program for the same purpose that is provided by their ISP.…

    On August second, 1776, fifty-six men signed a piece of paper that would change the course of the nation’s history; The Declaration of Independence. One of the most famous signatures on the Declaration of Independence is the one belonging to John Hancock, as it was more predominant than the others, as it was larger and so drew the eyes of the population as the threat of war loomed over the colonies. Those who courageously signed the document were knowingly putting their lives and the lives of others at stake, and so a strong burden was placed on to their shoulders. However, one question still looms. Did John Hancock really sign the document with a large scribble, or were the others too afraid to change their ways, and stand for the rights written…

    Q1: When selling bonds, suppliers may have a desire to sell bonds either at the highest price possible or at the lowest price that would still be of benefit. Alternately, buyers of bonds would wish to buy the lowest price possible, but may be willing to pay a higher price depending on the conditions. The point where the best interests of bond sellers and bond buyers meet, that is the point where “the amount of bonds that people are willing to buy equals the amount of bonds people are willing to sell at a given price,” is known as market equilibrium (Mishkin & Eakins, 2012, p. 70). Understanding market equilibrium and what factors affect where it falls is important within the study of supply and demand for the Bond Market for multiple reasons.…
