this concept started as what blase mentioned but its now basically moved to internet providers giving bias to websites to connect to them via a fast connect. Machette gave a good analogy where cable companies choose what channels you have in a package. you cant just watch anything you want unless you pay more for it.
Lets say that suckbay throws a million bucks to comcast. You can now get to suckbay quickly and browse at your normal net speed. however ebay didnt pay a million bucks. so if you are trying to access that site to sell something it would travel at 56k speeds. also from that wiki document Net neutrality has been instantiated into law in many countries, including the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Japan. so our UK breathren already are under this type of law. I don't see them flipping shit. Net neutrality is a good thing http://www.itsournet.org/ |
i sent an email to both my senators and my congresswoman about this and i got a reply from one senator. its prolly a script, but i still think its cool that someone emailed me...
----- Original Message ----- From: <senator@feinstein.senate.gov> To: <me@internet.net> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 11:01 AM Subject: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein responding to your message June 23, 2006 Mr. Robert Singrin XXX Any Street Anaheim, California 99999 Dear Mr. Singrin: Thank you for writing to me about open access to the Internet and network neutrality. I appreciate hearing from you. I agree with the general principles of network neutrality that owners of the networks that provide access to the Internet should not control how consumers lawfully use that network and should not be able to discriminate against content provider access to that network. As Congress debates changes to our telecommunications laws this year, many different proposals have been offered regarding network neutrality. The question arises whether or not action is needed to ensure unfettered access to the Internet. I believe any workable solution must balance the needs of the network, service and information providers. Please know that when legislation regarding network neutrality comes before the Senate I will be sure to keep your specific views in mind. Again, thank you for writing. If you should have any comments or questions, I hope you will feel free to contact my Washington, DC staff at (202) 224-3841. Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein United States Senator http://feinstein.senate.gov Further information about my position on issues of concern to California and the Nation are available at my website http://feinstein.senate.gov.

Gurantee that within 5-10 years the internet will be regulated and controlled by either corporations or the government.
