net Neutrality

Net Neutrality is a growing concept many people agree with or disagree with. Net neutrality is what allows you to have a free and open Internet. Sometimes servers can put blocks or restrictions on what you can view or see. Net Neutrality is what allows you to have a flat level surface for all Internet services and technologies. It also allows to services, of the same level, to be able to be in contact with each other. Everyone in the world in connected to each other. There are many types of telephone companies that want to block that. They want to separate it into different groups so that people and websites have to pay extra to use there services. They want there also to be a fast lane. So then only companies who pay the extra amount of money are allowed to use the faster Internet lanes. It then would not be fair to everyone. With net neutrality, the only job the server has to do is move data around. It does not block or un block certain services you may want to use. 

There are many companies that do not support net neutrality. AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner Cable are all against it. They want to be like a gatekeeper for the internet. They want to be able to decide which sites go slow or fast, and also who would be allowed to use the fast or slower sites. The more money a person or company may spend may regulate there internet speed and options. “They want to tax content providers to guarantee speedy delivery of their data. And they want to discriminate in favor of their own search engines, Internet phone services and streaming video -- while slowing down or blocking services offered by their competitors.” http://www.savetheinternet.com/frequently-asked-questions?gclid=CJ35mNncj6UCFeJN5QodqRLNOA

There are also many supporters of net neutrality. Besides everyone who does not want to loose Internet speed, or pay tax on their Internet for no reason, there are many companies who are for it. Companies like Microsoft, face book, Google, eBay. And even Comcast are all for it. Net neutrality is even on the top on the white houses list to take control of. http://www.savetheinternet.com/frequently-asked-questions?gclid=CJ35mNncj6UCFeJN5QodqRLNOA (who supports net neutrality)

Net Neutrality has become such a big topic, it is almost everywhere you look. http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/n/net_neutrality/index.html There was an awesome article in NY times that would help anyone really understand what is going on behind this I do support it. I think it is totally unfair that companies just want to make more money from people over the Internet. Times are tough for everyone and these leading companies have enough money being made. I also think it would be terrible if certain people had fast Internet and certain people had slow internet. Everything these days is wireless or a faster way then dial up connection. Either way you get the speed you pay for.
