So with such a huge topic like this I decided to do some research on the subject matter. Net Neutrality debate isn't something new and has actually been on going for several years now. Net Neutrality as defined by Wikipedia, is a principle proposed for user access networks participating in the Internet that advocates no restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on content, sites, platforms, the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and the modes of communication. From what I get gather it means that everything is open. You can do so with the Internet as you so chooses. The ISPs do not restrict or block any content you so wish to look at. However, everything started circulating when Comcast decided to block its peer-to-peer applications fall of last year. Once this began everything started to spiral out of control. Comcast says the FCC has no authority is this subject matter and that since they pay for their lines shouldn't they have the right to restrict anything that they feel that they don't want to provide.
Just be reading some of the first articles this is a very interesting topic. A lot of he say she say so far. And of course like every situations there are going to be pros and cons. Can't wait to explore them.
