Today’s Agenda By the end of class, we will be able to… Define what net neutrality is and identify the benefits of an open internet system. Analyze the political issues concerned with network neutrality today and compare the possibly new tiered system to the open internet system.

Net Neutrality Network neutrality is the principle that internet users should be able to access any web content they choose and use any applications they choose, without restrictions or limitations imposed by their Internet Service Provider.

If you are shopping for a new appliance online you should be able to shop on any and all websites, not just the ones with whom your provider has a preferred business relationship. An Example

Open Internet The internet as we know it: A level playing field where consumers can make their own choices about what applications and services to use, and where consumers are free to decide what content they want to access, create, or share with others. Open Internet

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Established by the Communications Act of 1934 as an independent U.S. government agency and is directly responsible to Congress. Regulates interstate (between states) and international communications by radio, television, satellite, and cable in all of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was America’s first successful attempt at seriously reforming regulations on telephone and broadcasting companies in more than six decades. The main goal of the Telecommunications Act was to free up the market in the communications industry. President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and a majority of the members of Congress supported the Telecommunications Act because it would give members of the public more choices in terms of the telephone services and media they could enjoy at home.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) In 2003, the phrase “network neutrality” was coined when Law Professor Tim Wu presented a paper at the Silicon Flatirons conference in Boulder, Colorado. August 5, 2005: The FCC guaranteed for consumers the freedom to use their internet connections to access any content, use any applications, and attach any devices, that they choose.
