Letter from a Reader: Open Internet for everyone !

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."
