Net Neutrality


So. Net neutrality. Basically I have a hard time to believe the fact that this is in our future. I do feel it is something we should be concerned about because if ISP's do start charging premiums for Internet access we will completely lose all freedom of what we once had. However, this is business. If I were CFU and noticed that 90% of all of the web access went to Facebook then I would possibly charge someone a small premium for the access to that website. Another form of access I would consider charging customers for is p2p sharing. I realize that this is used for legal use but a majority of the traffic is for illegal use.

The use of the Internet is supposed to be free but I don't see this freedom lasting for long. We should act now and help to protect our freedom on teh intarwebz. Paying 90$ for premium Internet access sounds completely ridiculous but hell...look at satellite television.
