Net neutrality: The Federal Communications Commission (or FCC from the Federal Communications Commission) has voted to end net neutrality protections protected by a bill in Obama.
Votes were expected, as the FCC is being controlled by Republicans who have always wanted to end the neutrality of the internet (Net neutrality).
So Title II has officially ended, handing over control of the internet to service providers like US Companies Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T.
The vote in question did not end without tense moments.
At one point the space had to vacate as there was a bomb threat. Authorities told journalists to leave their equipment (cameras, laptops and mobiles phones) and pass out. After controlling the polling place, they were able to return to continue the process with predictable results.
The president of the FCC, Help Pai, believes that lifting the government regulation opens the dianetwork for increased investment, fueling innovation by telecommunications companies.
These companies, however, have long been accused of doing the opposite. From repressive charges for subwoofers and cable kits, to pricing systems designed to collect every possible amount from the consumers they serve.
ISPs have not exactly the reputation of offering the kind of innovation Pai hopes for.
In addition, ending Net neutrality opens the door to a variety of scenarios:
staggered prices to remove from the internet those who do not want to pay for unlimited packages (if any),
the best treatment of one by clicking heres or once services against someone else (see sachets, or
shady deals that cut smaller ones businesses).
However, it should be noted that there may still be hope as the decision could be overturned at the federal level court or in Congress.
At present, however, ISPs have taken over the castle keys and are responsible for the Internet.
