Net Neutrality

My thoughts:
I think that net neutrality is important to have so that everyone is getting fair and unbiased services from their ISP's. It is important for their to be an equal playing field when it comes to the internet. An ISP shouldn't be able to prioritize or suppress information that is traveling to it's destination. The recent speech from the FCC is a great step foward in making sure that the net remains neutral so that free speech can prosper and people can continue to use whichever hardware and software they would like.
Pro-Net Neutrality:
-WeAreTheWeb is an organization made up of celebrities and others who say, "Big telecom and cable providers want to restrict your access and charge you more for internet content you already receive for free." They believe that the people own the web and not the big companies.
-OpenInternetCoalition is a group of companies that includes Ebay and Ask.com that believe the internet should be open to all. Being founded by public funding it should stay public and big companies shouldn't place "toll booths" in the internet. They want even people that don't have a lot of money to be able to use the same services and not be restricted by more fees.
Anti-Net Neutrality
-NetCompetition is an organization made up of big companies and ISP's as AT&T and Comcast. They are "Promoting competitive internet choices for consumers." They don't want the government to get involved in the industry and feel that market-based competition is better than government managed competition.
-HandsOffTheInternet is another organization made up of companies including BellSouth and Alcatel that is against the gobvernment regulation of the net. They feel that the consumers should make the choices and not the governemnt. They warn of a broadband price increase because of "net neutrality."
