  1. The FCC and Net Neutrality Jeremy Rodriguez CIS1055.008

  2. The Concept of Net Neutrality • Advocates no restriction on internet usage whether it be content, sites or platforms. • If you pay for internet service you should get access to all of the internet. • Overall, freedom and openness on the web.

  3. The Issue

  4. Proponents • Net Neutrality is supposed to help create competition and prevent ISP’s from becoming monopolies. • The internet was created to be an open platform and is world wide, so no one entity has the right to regulate it. • Net Neutrality means no discrimination

  5. Opponents • ISP’s see Net Neutrality as a threat to their businesses. • They argue that due to large influx of broadband internet users, they need to prioritize data (throttling). • The United States’ infrastructure is far inferior than countries like Japan and even China.

  6. Broadband Speeds 8860 Mbit/s 93693 Mbit/s

  7. Where does the FCC come in? • The FCC is now beginning to regulate the way ISP provide service. • With some political push, the FCC is fighting to protect the principles of Net Neutrality. • In 2009 the FCC banned any type of data prioritizing. This was in response to Comcast and its throttling practices

  8. So what's the problem? • After banning data prioritizing, the FCC began investigating how it can protect the internet by regulation. • They want to document set rules for users and providers on what they can and can’t do. • One controversy is that a suggested regulation allows United States law to govern the internet.

  9. Solution • 1 rule is needed for Net Neutrality to work. • If you pay for access, you will get access the same internet without data prioritizing. • This also shifts the focus on infrastructure rather than content filtering to make the internet better for Americans. We Need This Fiber Optics
