Net Neutrality
As we know, the rapid rise of technology has disrupted many industries. In class we discussed the music industry in particular.
But there is a bigger battle going on over the internet itself. ISP's such as Comcast and Silicon Valley giants like Google and Netflix are warring over whether all data should be treated equally. Under the Obama administration, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) ruled in favor of Silicon Valley and ordered ISP's to be regulated as a utility like Con Edison.
That is very likely to change under the new administration. ISP's claim all data is not equal and that content creators should pay more to distribute streaming content to help offset network maintenance costs for ISP's.
Here are two argument for both sides:
Pro Net Neutrality: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/net_neutrality
Against Net Neutrality: http://mashable.com/2014/05/16/5-arguments-against-net-neutrality/#GXx6m4ddomqn
Read both and weigh in on one side of the debate. Which side do you support? There will be a quiz on the articles.
