Слайд 2What is “net neutrality” and why should I care?
Слайд 3Think of this space as “how much info can be delivered
to you.”
Notice, it’s finite.
Слайд 4You may be under the impression everything delivered over the internet
has
the same opportunity to get to you as fast as your connection allows.
Слайд 6Some companies have struck deals with internet providers
to have their content
delivered via a “fast lane” of sorts.
Слайд 7And when there’s a fast lane,
there’s a slow lane.
Слайд 8The FCC has come in favor of keeping internet bandwidth neutral
in
attempt to prevent companies from paying for preferential treatment
Слайд 9because they’re worried market forces will compel internet providers
to devote more
bandwidth to premium content providers able to pay for speed.
Слайд 10Letting Internet providers use “pay-to-play” would put startup sites
and smaller
companies at a disadvantage.
Слайд 11Today, 2/26/15, day, the FCC enacted its strongest-ever rules on net
neutrality,
preserving an open Internet by prohibiting broadband providers from
blocking or slowing content that flows across their pipes.
Слайд 12The internet will remain “open.”
Слайд 13Companies like Verizon and Comcast say the cost of playing by
these new rules
will force them to cut back on investments in new technologies,
“stifling their ability to innovate.”
Слайд 14Don’t believe them for a second.
You know what will drive these
companies to invest and innovate, regardless?
Слайд 16An open internet puts everyone in the same boat.
Web developers everywhere
must continue to meticulously refine their code
to deliver robust content in as light and efficient manner as possible.
Слайд 17Thanks FCC Chairman, Tom Wheeler.
Sincerely,
Internet Users Everywhere
