Tonight Show Net Neutrality Spoof

John Oliver sums up team cables plan for the internet

Some Enlightening and interesting comments from the Tonight Show Post

• Never fear, this is America and eventually the internet will be reserved for those with the money to purchase the access.  Today, tomorrow, eventually ... it will become the Kochnet and right wing billionaires will be able to decide what you can pull up on your computer.  When that happens, they will boast that it is "the market" operating efficiently, as always.   --Henry Chinaski
• Allowing the wealthy to pay extra for the fastest internet would be almost as catastrophic as allowing them to pay extra for cars with the latest safety features.  --Anakha82
• No, people are already paying different prices for different internet speeds.  Ending net neutrality would be like charging a location to allow people to drive there. Want our roads to take people to you, Las Vegas? That'll be $50,000/car.  --Bachmaij

Obama's Plan for a Free and Open Internet

Net Neutrality: President Obama's Plan for a Free and Open Internet

Obama has given full responsibility to the FCC regarding any laws that deal with net neutrality stating that FCC is an independent entity.  He elaborates that the internet should be a fair medium where every site gets an equal amount of speed, a high schoolers blog should not get less bandwidth then a site paying an ISP or running advertisements.  According to Obama 4 key rules should be established:

• No Blocking
• No Throttling
• Increased Transparency
• No Paid Prioritization

Write the FCC to explain why Net Neutrality is important to you

FFC Comment Form

Write the FCC telling them why net neutrality is important to you by clicking the FCC Comment Form link above.  FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is trying to pass through a plan that would all but eliminate net neutrality.  Big ISPs like Comcast and Time Warner would create a two tier internet, one that would include the fee paying elite and one with the rest of us not able to stream content on demand. 

What is Net Neutrality

What is Net Neutrality?

Net Neutrality says that every website on the internet should have a fair equal amount of bandwidth allotted to them.  Meaning amazon should be just as easy and quick to access as your personal blog website.

So what would change if net neutrality wasn't in effect?

• Websites that "pay to play" would load without restrictions on bandwidth
• Website that don't "pay to play" will have their bandwidth throttled back, making for slow loading videos and a frustrating user experience
• ISP owned websites will be prompted in ways you never thought possible
• ISP competitor websites may takes hours to fully load or never load at all
