Default Net Neutrality And You!

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...ernet-rules.ars

"The Federal Communications Commission is releasing the details of its new net neutrality Order in stages. Although the FCC's new ban on "unreasonable discrimination" for wired ISPs allows certain kinds of traffic discrimination (not all bits need be equal), the agency made clear after today's meeting that "paid prioritization" deals with Internet companies are unlikely to be allowed."

If you have read any technology related news site for the past few years, you probably have heard of the term "Net Neutrality."  It is supposed to be one of the founding concepts of the Internets but everyone appears to have their own concept of what it actually means and what it should mean where applied to our burgeoning digital landscape.  It is important to pay attention to what is happening since this can directly affect what services you get on the Internet.  Aside from the potential for limiting innovation, it can lead towards favoured services, or even more costly services.  And what gets decided in the United States is likely to affect other countries, even if they do not adopt similar policies.
