An Introduction to Net Neutrality

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Net neutrality is about creating a neutral internet. The basic principle driving net neutrality is that the internet should be a free and open platform. Users should be able to use their bandwidth however they want (as long as it's legal), and internet service providers should not be able to provide priority service to any corner of the internet.

Those against net neutrality—commonly including internet service providers (ISPs), —believe that, as providers of internet access, they should be able to distribute bandwidth differently depending on the service. They'd prefer, for example, to create tiers of internet service that's more about paying for priority access than for bandwidth speeds.

Anti-net neutrality activists argue that internet service providers have a right to distribute their network differently among services, and that in fact, it's the ISPs that are innovating.

The Federal Communications Comission (FCC) released a new set of net neutrality rules on December 21, 2010 for internet service providers. Here's the state of net neutrality regulation as of right now:

• Transparency
First and foremost, the FCC requires that ISPs publicly disclose all their network management practices, so that users can make informed decisions when purchasing internet service.

• No Blocking or Unreasonable Discrimination for Wired Internet

• Your Smartphone Doesn't Count:
at any given point, you could find an internet service blocked or deliberately slowed down when accessing it from your smartphone. Furthermore, if the ISPs so choose, they could charge you extra to access certain services, like Facebook or Netflix.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
