Thousands Petition Feds on Net Neutrality
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Over 11,000 people submitted comments to the FCC regarding Net Neutrality. The arguments are for and against regulating ISPs and ultimately the Internet. The issue is that there is a belief, although mostly unfounded, that ISPs slow down or restrict access to competing networks. This reminds me of “Screen Bias” back in the 80’s which was Sabre’s way of pushing competing products down to the bottom of their screens. The situation however is fundamentally different in that there were and still are only a handful of GDS companies whereas there are thousands of ISPs in the US alone. The level of competition is huge and the market forces for openness are much greater.
