Net Neutrality is a topic of interest of late. This topic is best summarized as keeping the internet free to choose what you view and how you view it. We already pay to have access to the internet, but some providers would like to have us pay to access the sites we wish to use, or for us to utilize sites instead that benefit them. this will make the internet as rediculously expensive as having cable these days. I we want to use google, will we have to pay for the ultimate Google Pak that also include 50 other sites that we have absolutely no use for? I think the definition is very well stated at savetheinternet,com stating "Net Neutrality is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet." It goes on to say " It protects the consumer's right to use any equipment, content, application or service without interference from the network provider. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data -- not to choose which data to privilege with higher quality service. I have posted a video I found at savetheinternet.com Let me know what you think! What are your opinions on this subject? I also posted a cartoon that sums it up a bit alos on the right.
