Net Neutrality and you….
The Register has a story about Net Neutrality. Actually, it’s a piece that pokes fun at a stupid little cartoon made specifically to confuse people on what Net Neutrality really means.
Note: I’m not directly linking to the cartoon because I don’t want to send them direct traffic. A link is included in the referenced story.
Net Neutrality is a philosophy that revolves around an open and free Internet. It is basically an unspoken rule saying that all providers will allow all Internet traffic to flow through their system unhindered. Ma Bell would like to change this. Not only do they want to charge their customers for the bandwidth they use, but they would also love to charge content providers (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Joe’s blog and video) for the same bandwidth. This is what I call “double dipping.”
