Nothing will change tomorrow. There will be more political fighting about Net Neutrality to come. But it opens the door to some pretty fundamental changes and possibly the way we post our Internet Access or the kinds of stuff we can buy or kinds of sites we can access. The biggest providers, like comcast and at t and verizon, have said, wait a minute, we do not intend to change anything. But the law has changed grade they are now able to start charging different amounts of money for different websites to reach us. Let us say google pays more, they can show up faster. At the same time, they can also now saved as as consumers, if you want to be able to access social video sites or streaming movie sites, we can charge you more. Kind of like how we pay for packages. And they also have the right if they want to to block certain sites from showing up at all. There is a startup that they really do not like that is competing with them, they can say we will not allow that to show up. President obama used Net Neutrality as one of his achievements back in 2015. What has been the democratic argument to keep this in place . Say it is about a fundamental internet freedom. Their point of view is the importantas become so in our economy and the lives of americans, that it needs to be treated as such and people can access it the same. If youre a power company, you cannot say, i will charge this company this much to get power and that company that much. They want the same notions to apply to the internet. Also, the point of view helps silicon valley, where i am based. The Biggest Tech Company and the smallest ones do not want to be charged at different amounts are more to reach consumers faster. Ultimately, the facebooks and the googles in the netflixs can afford to pay more, so do not shed a tear for them, but it can affect startups because they cannot afford necessarily to get that fast lane. If they cannot, that means their Services Wont work as well for you and me or they might end up being punished with things like Google Search because google ranks faster website higher up. The real impact in the longterm is that we just may never see what i have been some good ideas for things we can do on the internet. There is a republican chair of the fcc appointed by president trump, called the architect of deregulation for the fcc. What has been motivating him behind todays actions . Geoffrey the whole Trump Administration view is that there is too much regulation and they want to scale it back. His argument here is that the back before fine 2015 when those rules were put in place. And we do not need this heavyhanded regulation from the government telling the Internet Service providers how they work. Handleds that can be either by the fcc or by the market. As providers start to act crazy or block sites we want to see, that consumers will just move elsewhere. You are in silicon valley. For Companies Like netflix, google, amazon, and facebook, what does that mean for them . The near it means in future, they may have to pay more to get their services to consumers faster. You know, it is something they can probably afford. Weve heard some grumbling from the biggest guys about this but it has been pretty quiet in the debate over the last couple of weeks. They are under a lot of regulatory scrutiny in washington and by consumers in general right now. I think they are trying to lay low. It is not really they are not really the ones who stand to really suffer here is actually talked to blogs are people who sell products on at the. There is a one fedor worried that they will be squeezed out and not be able to access the speeds and the customers that they need.
