Net Neutrality Arrives ...

net neutrality is a rationale which says that ISPs should enable access to all content and apps without discrimination due to source or favoring or blocking any particular product or web site.

Another word for this principle is "open internet" and the concept enables and protects free speech without discrimination.
 

The FCC has declared that the internet will now be regulated as a public utility. Net neutrality is regulated based on redefining broadband permitting the regulation of the internet infrastructure just like it used to with the old POTS systems of yore ...

Thursday, the FCC held it's monthly meeting whereby the rules were reinstaed in a 3 to 2 vote split which was polarized by political affiliation.

These regulations had been thrown out in federal court last year.

I have been very anxious regarding the possibility for micromanagement of the internet by service providers for a number of years now.

This development has been most welcome to me personally inasmuch as I value freedoms as that part of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" of which they are a significant aspect.

Now to see how congruent the reality is with the theory.
