The Net is Losing Neutrality
Today, the DC Court of Appeals handed corporate America a victory for deciding what content it can filter on the internet. In Comcast Corporation v. FCC, the Court ruled 3 – 0 that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) did not have the authority to require Comcast to treat all internet traffic equally. This decision effectively means that all broadband providers (Verizon, ATT, Comcast, etc) can filter what they deem to be bandwidth-hogs and charge rates based on their tiered internet packages.
This is not a good sign for the future of the internet.
