  1. Net neutrality and why you should fight for it Texas Tech University By Jim Woodard

  2. Introduction • Since the ruling against Net Neutrality in the District of Columbia, Internet Service Providers have too much wiggle room to exploit the common internet user.

  3. Throttling internet speeds • The traditional net neutrality rules have required that ISPs distribute the same data speeds to every website. • Big streaming providers, and other streaming services could be slowed down because ISPs can give preference now.

  4. Regulation • The FCC has been slow to react to the striking down of Net Neutrality. • Data is the same no matter where it is coming from. • Without regulation ISPs can pick and choose who or what can have faster speeds.

  5. Counterargument • Streaming Services take a massive amount of bandwidth. • ISPs claim throttling is the only affordable solution for high internet traffic. • ISPs have regular tax breaks to improve infrastructure, and pocket the money instead of using it to actually improve infrastructure.

  6. Conclusion • As internet users, we need to fight to keep Net Neutrality. • If we let the ISPs give preference, there is no telling where it will end.
