On hurts the integrity of competition and innovation. Binge On also technically violates the Title II general conduct rule. T-Mobile isn’t the only ISP guilty of creating zero-rating programs. Comcast created their own Internet TV service called Stream TV. Stream TV is zero-rated for Comcast customers. This should be a violation of network neutrality, because Comcast’s own Internet TV is zero-rated, but similar services like Netflix, are not. AT&T has a similar program, and Verizon is planning on releasing their own. AT&T and Verizon’s zero-rated programs allow companies to pay for their websites or software to not count against the customer’s data cap. These zero-rated programs are clearly threatening to the main principles of net

Have you ever asked your mom if she’ll take you to this movie and she said no I don’t like stuff like that? That may be because having so many options and channels to watch divides audiences, maybe only boys like that movie or maybe only girls like that movie all because of there being so may channels and things to watch. If there was only three channels on your TV would you and your family watch TV together more often? Probably yes, because that is all there is to watch.

Net-neutrality is the principle that providers of Internet services enable access to all contents with no prejudice or discrimination against sites or products regardless of the source. In December, the U.S. government repealed the national regulations that prevented “Internet Service Providers from blocking legal content, throttling traffic or prioritizing content on their broadband networks” in favor of a “looser set of requirements that ISPs disclose any blocking or prioritization of their own content.” In summary, the government has decided to change net-neutrality and make it easier to profit from. The government’s want, and subsequent success, to change the strict guidelines by which net-neutrality operated with is supported by the Chairman

The Overuse of Television Kameron G Loyd BYU-Idaho  During an average week, how much television does the average child watch? Parents, educators, and concerned citizens alike would be appalled at the answer of 1,480 minutes (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). They would also be revolted by the statistic that 54% of four to six year olds would rather spend time watching television instead of spending time with their fathers (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). In 1984, Neil Postman saw how devastating television watching was becoming to the culture of America, and gave a speech to the literary community at the 1984 Frankfort Germany Book Fair entitled “Amusing Ourselves to Death” which deals directly with this monolithic issue. Although the speech and subsequent article, published in Et Cetra, were directed at the publishers, writers, illustrators, etc., all those who read this article can also benefit from Postman’s overarching desire to decrease the hours of mind-numbing television watching.

Shant Sahakian, in the informative and opinionated piece, “Repeal of Net Neutrality is bad for Education, Business, and You,” written in Los Angeles Times, on November 30, 2017, argues that repealing, therefore ending net neutrality would be detrimental and “the end of the internet we have always known and loved”, and that ending net neutrality will be bad for education, business, and anyone who believes that the internet should be free and equal to use by all persons who use it today. Sahakian’s evidence consists of various references and indications to the fact that ending net neutrality will be the end to internet freedom and equality as wells as an end to the fairness and equal opportunity that net neutrality gives us today. Sahakian also

For example, let's say that a large search engine corporation had a lot of spare money in the bank from advertising, and it decided to pay ISP's to give their traffic preferential treatment over a different website, such as a non profit like Wikipedia. That situation would not be fair in my mind, because a corporation uses its power to disproportionately gain an advantage in performance that is not justifiable. A core principle of the internet is being allowed to exercise one's freedom of speech. There should be no reason that someone who is acting within their constitutional right should be denied the opportunity to share their viewpoint in any way that they choose (2).

On December 14th, the future of the internet will be determined. The Federal Communications Commission will vote to repeal the Open Internet Act, which allows for net neutrality. Net neutrality forces internet service providers, such as Verizon or SELCO, to provide access equal access to all websites. Proponents of net neutrality believe that it allows for smaller companies to complete, while opponents believe that it makes it harder for larger companies to further expand their networks, which would in turn improve the internet. A repeal of the act would theoretically allow internet service providers to limit or remove your access to certain websites—unless you paid extra.

They can charge extra fees to the few content companies that can afford to pay for preferential treatment — relegating everyone else to a slower tier of service.” Network neutrality means applying well-established “common carrier” rules to the internet in order to preserve its freedom and openness. Common carriage prohibits the owner of a network that holds itself out to all-comers from discriminating against information by halting, slowing, or otherwise tampering with the transfer of any data (except for legitimate network management purposes such as easing congestion or blocking spam). History: Have we always had Net Neutrality?
