Net Neutrality
Leave a comment »
Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Internet, blogs here about the threat to our freedom to use the Internet in its current free ranging form, unconstrained by corporate handcuffs here.
It is an important read.
Net neutrality is this:
If I pay to connect to the Net with
a certain quality of service, and you pay to connect with that
or greater quality of service, then we can communicate at that level.
That's all. Its up to the ISPs to make sure they interoperate so that
that happens.
Net Neutrality is NOT asking for the internet for free.
Net Neutrality is NOT saying that one shouldn't pay more money for high quality of service.
We always have, and we always will.
