Net Neutrality Explained: What You Need To Know
Published April 29, 2017 By Dennis Restauro Leave a Comment
Net neutrality is the simple principle that all information be treated equally when being delivered over a network. While net neutrality opponents like to pretend this was a new concept when Tom Wheeler’s FCC adopted the open internet rules in 2015, net neutrality has been a tradition in the U.S. for over 150 years.
In fact, net neutrality was the fundamental principle guiding communications networks in the U.S. until recently. Furthermore, if it were not for the ISP and cable TV lobby, net neutrality would have never been a contentious issue.
The History of Net Neutrality
The current FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, has declared war on net neutrality. He is attempting to abolish the 2015 rules that set Internet back to its natural state after a brief hijacking at the hands of lobbyists. The rules Chairman Pai want to erase are as follows:
No Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
No Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
No Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration of any kind—in other words, no “fast lanes.” This rule also bans ISPs from prioritizing content and services of their affiliates.
These rules are not “a power grab” or a “regulatory reach” as Pai and the ISP lobby are found of saying. In fact, they are rooted in the earliest forms of electronic communications.
