[QUOTE="Maren, post: 54477575, member: 203932"] Your example doesn't work. Fed Ex wouldn't change under Net Neutrality. Fed Ex works because they have bought a fleet of planes to move their packages around overnight and because they minimize the time it takes to process the packages while they are on the ground. To move this to an Internet example -- they are still free to buy their own super high speed pipes that only they can use (internal network) in order to make their traffic faster. As for processing times on the ground, that would be having super fast computers that are able faster than others that can pull up the requested information and get it back into the pipes faster than anyone else. All Net Neutrality does is state that they can't slow other people's packages down to make sure theirs gets out faster. To go back to the Fed Ex example, they can't load a plane and immediately take off, they still have to get in line according to the instructions of the tower. Their trucks can't ignore stop signs or stop lights that everyone else has to stop at. And the premium express still exists -- you can get very cheap internet by getting service through a company that gives dial up service and, even within most companies (kind of like Fed Ex ground and Fed Ex air) there are choices as to how fast you want your Internet to be. And last, since someone brought it up, I don't think Net Neutrality (though I haven't seen how the law is written) would keep a Christian ISP from blocking porn sites. Net Neutrality does not say that sites cannot be filtered out completely so long as the filter was requested/agreed to by the consumer, just that it cannot intentionally delay the information from any web site. Last, the reason Net Neutrality has not been an issue so far is that it has been in the FCC's Broadband Policy Statement. The problem is, some Internet companies (such as Comcast) are challenging whether the FCC can legally compel them to follow a policy the FCC created. [URL="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/09/fcc-chairman-wants-network-neutrality-wired-and-wireless.ars"]This bill[/URL] is to ensure that Net Neutrality continues -- that the FCC's Broadband Policy Statement is encoded in law. So saying their hasn't been a problem is not an argument it is not needed since it has been an enforced policy that companies are seeking to have overturned. [/QUOTE]
