  1. Netowork Neutrality Does it Rock or Smell like Dirty Socks?

  2. Introduction A principle for residential BroadBand Networks- As of right now the entire internet runs on a neutrally setup network. This means that all of the content, webpages, and companies are treated equally as pertains to viewing power. People who post insane videos of themselves doing whatever they please gets the same rights as companies such as McDonalds and Pepsi spend up to 500,000,000 dollars in advertising (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=owned ).

  3. Evolution of The Principle The best description of the internet’s beginning that we can find comes from Vint Cerf of internet protocol when he said, "The Internet was designed with no gatekeepers over new content or services. A lightweight but enforceable neutrality rule is needed to ensure that the Internet continues to thrive." It hasn’t been until recent years that big companies have come out to try to use what we call “last mile” tactics to block opposing company’s internet privileges.

  4. “Last Mile” • Meaning no more than as the demand of internet sharing capabilities has escalated, the need for high speed internet access at millions of locations has increased also. As requirements have changed, existing systems and networks which were initially pressed into service for this purpose have proved to be inadequate. No one has been able to fix this problem but merely give it the name “last mile.”

  5. Evolution of The Principle The best description of the internet’s beginning that we can find comes from Vint Cerf of internet protocol when he said, "The Internet was designed with no gatekeepers over new content or services. A lightweight but enforceable neutrality rule is needed to ensure that the Internet continues to thrive." It hasn’t been until recent years that big companies have come out to try to use what we call “last mile” tactics to block opposing company’s internet privileges. Needless to say, before this problem existed there was little to no mention of moving from network neutrality to a closed system but since its flare up in the early part of 2000 a careful examination of all aspects of the argument has become essential.

  6. Current Status • Net neutrality is a major issue as the U.S. considers new telecommunications laws. The U.S. House of Representatives passed its telecommunications bill, H.R. 5252, in May, without adequate net neutrality protections. Now the fight has moved to U.S. Senate. On June 28, the Senate Commerce Committee passed its own telecom bill, S. 2686. While an amendment to the bill that would have added meaningful net neutrality safeguards failed 11-11, this tie vote marks a significant political victory and gives the effort new momentum. The debate now shifts to the full Senate, where advocates will be working to get strong net neutrality language is any bill that the Senate considers. http://www.google.com/help/netneutrality.html

  7. Advantages If net neutrality becomes law, it would prevent big companies from locking in an advantage at the residential level- giving certain types of data privileged status. If it doesn’t, Companies that can now afford to shell out billions of dollars to invest in the network have an instant advantage on others when dealing with businesses that need instantaneous results from their networking.

  8. Disadvantages If the internet were truly neutral many of us would spend a lot more time waiting for our results from searches and different downloading layouts (such as cnet). Some claim that small businesses would stretch more and come up with other ways to fill the void that was left deep pocketing.

  9. Thoughts We would have to say that the use of a completely neutral internet have both its ups and downs, yet to take away our freedom of speech through corporate investments is wrong. It would be as if the phone company would tell us with whom and about what we could talk. If the dictates of the internet were based on investing what is deemed expectable to view would not be set by popular opinion but by financial depth. The bill to change the internet from a completely neutral network most not be passed.
