Net Neutrality Net neutrality has been a part of geeky Internet conversation for years, but has only come into public view relatively recently when the FCC voted to reclassify Internet service providers as public utilities, which will ensure that Internet access continues to be available to anyone with no restriction on the content that’s accessed (Kang). This is a landmark decision that will affect many people over the next few decades. Net neutrality is important to me because it directly…

because they say that it would lead to increased strain on the bandwidth usage. A company like Netflix can argue a company like Verizon can’t throttle internet streaming speeds on their website. In the summer of 2014 Netflix began paying Verizon and Comcast more money to higher bandwidth in order to improve video quality and…

and its first year at the top. Let’s take a moment and pray for Comcast. Lack of regional competition for many cable TV providers is likely a primary reason for their low customer service ratings across the industry in a long period of time. Without alternatives to choose from, the customers are forced to pay high rates for bad service that does not improve for a long time. This thing is the main problem with this company. Comcast pledged to devote $300 million to customer service. The plan…

Recently, companies have tried to take advantage of their power by forcing websites to pay them extra money to reach their…

Net Neutrality and Data Discrimination “They who can give up their essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin, Memoirs of the life & writings of Benjamin Franklin.

When you sacrifice the freedom and openness of the internet for any type of law you deserve nothing. The internet started on the basis of the words, free, open and…

My stance on “net neutrality” is that there is no information which should be prioritized over another. An example that I like to use is one of the electrical grid network. For instance, when you plug a device into – an electrical outlet, the amount of electricity received the same amount regardless of the device One doesn’t get priority over another. All receive the same amount of electricity. Yet people still seem to not understand what the internet truly looks like and how it really operates.…

play, these ISP’s would be allowed to charge in tiers meaning that they would have low end all the way to high end plans. The way in which this affects the consumer would be the price, a “get what you pay for” deal.

"In this age, the internet has become as important as water and food to some individuals. It provides the means to connect with others, access information, and enjoy various outlets of entertainment. As American citizens, basic freedoms and rights should be guaranteed. The convenience of the internet sometimes challenges the principles that these rights were built upon. The First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the press are among popular arguments when it comes to…
