I am in favor of Net Neutrality. I feel that if I pay for access to the internet I have the right to visit any websites I want to, regardless of who owns the site. I pay plenty for the access I have and have little choice in who provides my internet service. As it is there are a few companies (Comcast, Verizon) providing service and they monopolize the market. Without net neutrality censorship could also become a problem with some providers.
As I was reading the article FCC details plan to reassert authority over Internet on cnet.com I was confused about the ruling against the FCC. I’m not sure what BITtorent traffic is or how it works. However, I found the “comments” at the end of the article amusing as I do for many articles or stories posted on the web. Based on the comments Net Neutrality is either leading us to Socialism, creating/increasing taxes, creating censorship or causing thousands to lose jobs. I was not sure which side of the issue most of the commenter’s where on.
