Net Neutrality Links

I’m adding this link to the Net Neutrality Page.

We Neutrally Reserve the Right to Charge Anything at Anytime

So the first anti-net neutrality ad hit San Diego this week, claiming that unless we allow the ISPs to prioritize certain packets based upon how much the sender is willing to pay, the consumer will be forced to pay more.

I’m a bit confused…we consumers are already paying more. The ISPs already make people to pay for their internet access. And if you use a lot, such as by being a big company or a popular blogger, then your ISP starts charging you more because of all the traffic. And who pays for it? Certainly not the person providing the content. No, the costs get passed on to the consumer, of course. Whether it is through direct cost by the amount the site charges for their services or indirect cost by their charging the advertisers more for their support which the advertisers pass along, the person who pays when a site becomes popular and starts drawing traffic is the consumer.
