conceptualize Net Neutrality

I wonder if the genie is out of the bottle. Is it to late to
stop the gears?

I actually think it is. The Government / Big Brother is going to
do what it wants to do in spite of public outcry. They are just
trying to paint a picture that there is still a "choice".

I think it's even more to do with Big Business and money. Lot of
controlling stake there. >:(

Let's see new rule runs. Now with internet, people and companies
are under the microscope and within Nanoseconds the rest of the
world knows what has developed.
[glow=red,2,300]FCC may tweak net neutrality proposal after
criticism, but still wants paid-for 'fast lanes'[/glow]
[quote]
After intense criticism over his proposed net neutrality rules,
Tom Wheeler, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission,
is revising his stance, according to reports from two top U.S.
newspapers.
The Chairman still wants to introduce rules that would allow
Internet Service Providers to charge content companies such as
Amazon and Netflix for faster delivery of their traffic to
subscribers' homes. But to appease his critics, Wheeler's
revised proposal would more explicitly disallow so-called 'slow
lane' Internet traffic.
The new proposal would "include language that would make clear
that the FCC will scrutinize the deals to make sure that the
broadband providers don't unfairly put nonpaying companies'
content at a disadvantage," an unnamed agency official told The
Wall Street Journal. The Washington Post reported the same news,
also citing anonymous sources.
In other words, ISPs could still charge for so-called paid
prioritization, but the carrier's wouldn't be allowed to
penalize non-paying companies with slower delivery.
Wheeler's revised proposal would also create a new ombudsman
that could ensure paid prioritization wasn't being used by ISPs
to smother Internet start-ups. One of the many concerns of net
neutrality advocates is that paid prioritization would harm
innovation from new online services.
Wheeler is expected to start circulating his new draft proposal
internally at the FCC as early as Monday, the Journal reports.
The new proposed net neutrality rules are slated to become
public on Thursday.
The new proposed draft would also ask for public comment on
whether paid prioritization should be banned altogether and
whether the FCC should reclassify ISPs as common carriers.
While the reported new rules are unlikely to win over net
neutrality advocates, the proposal could spark a more vigorous
fight to classify ISPs as common carriers, similar to phone
companies.
Many net neutrality advocates have been pushing for the FCC to
classify ISPs as common carriers under Title II of the Federal
Communications Act all along. If ISPs were considered common
carriers the companies wouldn't be allowed to block or give
preferential treatment to one piece of content over another.
The Journal says the FCC is also looking to get comment over two
alternative proposals by the Mozilla Foundation and Columbia Law
Professor and Internet access critic Tim Wu.
