net neutrality


       first off i am going to mention a part of the FCC broadband policy statement that said:
In 2005, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued its Broadband Policy Statement (also known as the Internet Policy Statement), which lists four principles of open Internet,[13] "To encourage broadband deployment and preserve and promote the open and interconnected nature of the public Internet, consumers are entitled to:"
  • access the lawful Internet content of their choice.
  • run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement.
  • connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network.
  • competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers.

          I just read about net neutrality and what the biggest telephones and Cables Corporations want to do with. They want to get rid of what we do, see and how internet users surf in the web , deciding which Web sites go fast or slow and what users can download or what not. Even they are planning to tax some content from provides to guarantee the data speed from them. 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. I read that “The big phone and cable companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to gut Net Neutrality, putting the future of the Internet at risk. “  This is unacceptable and I believe it is a threat to the freedom and those big corporations are insatiable monsters that their goal is sucks our money no matter what or how. Internet is part of our life in home, school, university, work, social life and so on, and it has to keep on free. It is a concern for all internet consumers around the world and we need to be united in this cause. I found surfing in the web the next document which stands for why consumers demand internet freedom
