Net Neutrality
The basics are as follows, Com cast wants to have the option to do what ever they want when it comes to internet service and how they control it. The FCC however feels that they have the right and responsibility to regulate how that is done. The FCC wants to have neutrality when it comes to broadband use, allowing everyone to have the same access with out being slowed or blocked all together. Com Cast reasoning why they have to do this is because if they don't take certain steps to control there network, it will affect their network in a whole. One prime example of what is really going on is the fact they slow access, or maybe even block access to file sharing sites that interfere with there business, such as movie sharing websites. Now I agree that they have no right to block or slow connections down to charge more money for those faster speeds. I don't necessarily agree that the FCC should regulate it either. I am not a fan of government controlling the internet because then they will try to control the content that is out there. My personal opinion is that everyone should have access to the same internet at the same speed no matter where you are or who your provider is. So I guess I am on board for Net Neutrality as long as they keep it that simple and it doesn't cost me or any other taxpayers anymore money.
