Net Neutrality

After reading a blog posting this morning I thought it was important to shed some light on a topic that I have been following for a little while now, net neutrality. Net neutrality is the idea of keeping the internet speed and access open to all no matter who your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is. The FCC came out with a ruling that will help maintain this freedom. The following is a quote from from that ruling:

"Now is an exciting time. Web developers, companies, governments and citizens should work together openly and cooperatively, as we have done thus far, to preserve the Web’s fundamental principles, as well as those of the Internet, ensuring that the technological protocols and social conventions we set up respect basic human values. The goal of the Web is to serve humanity. We build it now so that those who come to it later will be able to create things that we cannot ourselves imagine."
