We received this comment from one of our readers, about Internet Neutrality issue. I think that it is important for the rest of us, to be aware of it. Please, do not hesitate to let your opinions be known. (Ed)
El chairman de la FCC por fin a dicho oficialmente
su plan de
tratar broadband como un
Public Utility. Como te dije, la idea es acabar con el monopolio que
tienen Comcast,
Time-Warner, etc. sobre sus lineas
para que otros
ISPs puedan
competir (Google Fiber). Tambien prohibe
que Comcast
y Time-Warner le cobren a compañias
como Netflix,
Hulu, etc. por priorizar sus velocidades
para llevarte el contenido ya que tu
como consumidor
ya estas pagando
por la velocidad
maxima para usar esos servicios.
Esto quiere decir que compañias pequeñas
pueden competir
con las grandes
ya que no tienen que pagar extra para llevarte el contenido, y tu
como consumidor
accesas todos
los web sites y servicios a la velocidad
maxima que
pagas, no unos mas rapidos que otros
a la potestad de Comcast.
"The internet
wouldn’t have emerged as it did, for instance, if the FCC hadn’t mandated open
access for network equipment in the late 1960s. Before then, AT&T prohibited
anyone from attaching non-AT&T equipment to the network. The modems that
enabled the internet were usable only
because the FCC required the network to be open."
"These enforceable, bright-line rules
will ban paid prioritization, and the blocking and throttling of lawful
content and services. I propose to fully apply—for the first time
ever—those bright-line rules to mobile broadband."
"For example, there will be no rate regulation, no tariffs, no
last-mile unbundling. Over the last 21
years, the wireless industry has invested almost $300 billion under similar
rules, proving that modernized Title II regulation can encourage investment and
competition."
