Net Neutrality… What is it?

06.07.2008 0

According to Wikipedia.org, Net Neutrality is, “a principle that is applied to residential broadband networks, and potentially to all networks. A neutral broadband network is one that is free of restrictions on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, on the modes of communication allowed, which does not restrict content, sites or platforms, and where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams.” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality

In laymans terms there is the rumored possibility that large Internet Service Providers (ISP) are planning on regulating the internet to better benefit their companies.

Here is a group from Belgium I believe that are very enthusiastic about this particular topic. Here is a video they created on posted on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2XPiqhN_Ns

I’m doing more and more research on this topic to become better informed of what is going on.
