The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed today a net neutrality to keep Internet Service Providers (ISP) from denying consumers in freely using the internet.
It can be recalled that there were cases where ISPs such as comcast had secretly block their customers from using certain applications such as file and video sharing. They were eventually sanctioned by the FCC.
It is expected of course that these big ISPs will fight this proposal contending that it will further congest their network and will force to continuously upgrade their network which in turn will cost them to lost their business.
As a paying consumer I have the right the access any information I want. The only catch here is that if this proposal push through we may see either the end of unlimited access or increase in Internet price.
